I'm very serious, but I'm also sure you don't and haven't flown an E190. Note I said 180 to 5, not the marker; most markers are 6-7 miles out which gives me 900-1200 feet to get configured and meet my stabilized approach criteria, which require both configuration and VAPP plus 10 by 1000 feet. 5 miles gives me 2 miles/600 feet to accomplish that, which just isn't going to happen in an E190 from 180 to 130-140 or so. There's a few jet-specific reasons for this versus what's probably normal on a Boeing. I agree that 180 to 5 in a 320 usually works fine, for example...
So what I do is say "unable", and tell the controller what I can do. 160-170 works great depending on tail/headwinds, anti-ice operation etc.

Paul Bertorelli says it nicely:

Compare to the targeted Cirrus ads of today.

They'll make a Cessna do a short approach for traffic not even at the outer marker yet.
I've had many go-arounds because Mr. Student Pilot or Captain Cessna gets pokey on the rollout, annoying at a charlie or delta because I often could easily make it, almost could think of it as a LAHSO if a light plane, but when tower calls go around, I go around...

The CA of the PSA CRJ200 in CLT who rolled his left main into the grass turning left onto G taxiway from M and then proceeded to come within a foot or two of rolling the right main into the grass turning on to RWY 23 from G. You have to be a special kind of stupid to do that in a CRJ.

I nominate little Dougie Parker for the tool of the day...who can't focus on his own operation....but wants to go after a competitor. The stock holders have to LOVE that.
