Well, okay, but you've now stepped away from the goal of allowing all valid email addresses, and are now restricting email addresses that don't fit your personal opinion of what a good email address is, which is at odds with what the actual rules for valid email addresses are.

Your opinion might have a lot of reasons to support it, but it does not seem to be consistent with the position you were advocating. I am interested in not validating email addresses, because of your convincing argument that I should not. And now you want me to validate them.

Where did I claim that as my goal? If somebody just has to be a wiseass, that's fine, but I don't mind making him unhappy, because trying to make him happy along with everybody else will make me very unhappy indeed. If I can keep from making myself unhappy, and keep from making unhappy anyone who doesn't just have to be a wiseass, I'm willing to call it a day.
