Nobody here is saying that Harrison Ford spends his day stuffing PPs into envelopes, because nobody* here thinks that. Everyone* is, in fact, saying the exact opposite.
*Well, everyone except you & Imortalmindz, who seem to think that Ford actually has the time to sign mail for people & that he simply chooses not to because he hates his fans. That was your point, was it not?
Like I said before, the backpedaling is just beautiful. At this rate, you can probably win the Tour de France, if you got to do it in reverse.
Anyway, when people say "X sends PPs", they mean "PPs come from X's mailing address at X's behest as a means of responding to requests for X's autograph, or simply X's fan mail in general", but nobody bothers writing that, as it's obvious &, until you came along, every person here knew what it meant.
I don't know if you actually thought that they meant it literally or if you're playing dumb to cause trouble, but, either way, welcome to my ignore list.

In this case, they weren't actually knocking the celebrities--just showing off their IQ (or, rather, lack thereof) by taking the statement about how "Ford sends PPs while some actors send nothing" to mean that you thought Ford himself actually takes the time to send the PPs, despite the actual context of your statement & the fact that it's an accepted colloquialism for the above, rather than an actual literal statement.
