Hilarious!
My point is far simpler than anticipated. As far as I'm concerned you can call me whatever you like. It is I who has no need for labels.
I have been called "fill in the blank" and it always comes down to perspective, observation, and ultimately, opinion/consensus. But what does any label actually say about who/what I am as a being?
As I label myself you'll begin to form a "picture" of me in your mind. If I do not label myself, then you are left alone to see me as I really am, instead of one belonging to this or that camp.
Right about now, some have labeled me as an "ass" or "uncooperative" or "you get the idea". If I label myself a "nice guy" and someone disagrees with [my perception] of the truth in that label, and calls me a "jerk" then what good is my label to them? Labels are selfish (not necessarily in an altogether bad way).
Label you right now as "Mr. needs to eat a dick." You have an avatar, you have a handle, you have the self-righteous spiel and lower-case i; you are not even selfishly unlabeled.
