I'm stealing this for my signature now...

As for everybody else, the nitpicking was funny the first few times, but then it just got old. What I was suggesting isn't to eradicate the labels, just the stigma attached to them. I was ranting because I was annoyed and pissed. It happens. I realize now that the only way, unfortunately, to remove stigma from labels is to completely eradicate anyone who doesn't subscribe to the same labels... Of course this is illegal in most countries, and often considered a crime against humanity... just ask Hitler, Pol Pot, or any other "extremist" dictator.

So that leaves us back at square one... me being annoyed that there's stigmas attached to the labels that describe aspects of who and what I am... and knowing there's nothing I can sanely, or legally, do about it.
