'Not labeling ourselves' Vs 'Bright' Vs just plain good old 'Atheist', etc.

RE: 'Not labeling ourselves' Vs 'Bright' Vs just plain good old 'Atheist', etc.
Yeah ... and add to that I really, really don't like the use of the word "Bright" to mean what the "Brights" use it for. At the risk of sounding contentious I resent its use more than I resent the use of the word "Gay" being used to mean homosexual. Both words had their own entirely innocent meanings before but now I can't use the word "gay" to describe myself as happy, carefree (as in the "Gay Divorcee") and in my youth I could do, and "Bright" is trying to go the same way (granted no one really gives a shit but hey, it's the principle).

I mean I know the English language evolves 'n all that but GET YER OWN FUCKING WORDS why don't you?

OK ... rant over ... sigh!
