My issue is not with what people label themselves, but with others using labels in a attempt to denigrate.
Someone on this list asked me once why it bothered me to be called a liberal, and I gave that question a lot of thought. I decided the reason it bothers me is that I don't self-identify as a liberal and no else gets to label me and then use that label to attack instead of discussing the actual points being made. Labels generate exaggeration and hyperbole, and bring all coherent discussion to an abrupt stop.
