As a person with a short range bladder my sympathies are entirely with the passenger.
I'm not going to rupture my bladder just to show my respect for your authority.
If you won't let me in the lav, then something on your airplane is going to absorb my urine.
Who wrote it up at an outstation with no MX? It still takes some one with authority to release it for service after you reset the breaker to clear the MEL. If you cannot MEL it, then the aircraft is unairworthy until it is repaired. That is in the FAR'S, and the CA has no authority to over ride this. Read block 13 on the airworthiness certificate. It is only valid if the aircraft is maintained in accordance with the FAR's, and thats where the MEL comes into play.
Any CA who blately disregards a MEL is totally unprofessional and deserves to be disqualified as a CA. It doesn't matter what that MEL is. Somebody with a higher paygrade and responsibility came up with this system, the CA's boss bought off on it, and it is policy. If you don't agree with the system, you are officially a "Cowboy", and should seriously consider another line of employment.

If the gate agents kept the drunks off the planes, we wouldn't have people pissing in airsickness bags in the first place!
