Nope, completely with you on this. The logical conclusion of banning everything dangerous is everything in existence being banned. There are many things people do that I think are dumb or dangerous but that doesn't mean I think they should be banned from doing them.

Not true. I support anyone doing anything that is harmful to themselves. I don't support doing things that are harmful to others.
By the nature of even existing you do things every single day that others would consider harmful to them. This isn't a personal attack fyi.

edit: I don't believe it's ridiculous or pedantic, but you're certainly welcome to your opinion.

Don't be ridiculous. There is very little value in such pedantry.
