Fussing over those labels gives them an importance they should never have. YMMV So, we continue to fuss over those labels and continue giving them more power..? Personally, I think working to diminish, and eventually eliminate, those labels would be a better use of time, but you do you.

Sometimes people hide being a serial killer behind being a kind nurse. Do you think this is a good reason for people to not be civil? Or are you suggesting that I'm inolerant and fake? Or something else?

I try to do both. Choosing what is the appropriate response at what time is difficult. Here I just wanted to open up a discussion on annissue inspired by an IG post. I thought if people felt it was a boring or unprofitable topic they'd just ignore it, and if they were interested they'd make meaningful contributions. I'm not good at predicting human behaviour.

Exchanges like this support the idea that you're too sensitive. Brewer made a polite observation along with what I think is solid advice ... yet to you it's "rude".
