poster. To me, this is POV: "These are the places you should eat at,
not any others."
Possibly it's POV, but I don't read it exactly that way. I'd say that
the problem is not really POV here, but rather style and selectivity.
We could frame it as a POV dispute, but I don't think that the person
who wrote it really intended to slight anyone or advocate for
anything.
Agreed, but for some POV is a too convenient bazooka for shooting
down
other people's contributions.
I say: so what? Let's let them do it. It's
not a major problem,
since it's silly not many people will care to do it. It won't be
well-linked from anywhere on the site, so almost no one will ever see
it. I'm flexible on this point, because I think that it's hard to
make blanket judgments, and that we would need a lot of case-by-case
examples before we'd have enough experience to formulate a general
rule.
I generally take this approach too. Sometimes those who want to
remove
these things remind me too much of a Dr. Strangelove who would go
to any
extent to preserve bodily humors.
