Thanks b_b for putting this out, I too am curious to see what people think.

Labels have their role, but as I expressed in my argument, they often leave out more than they denote. Applied to people, they can be especially reductionistic. The L-word, in particular, is in some circles tantamount to a curse word, or at least deserving of curses (poetic and evocative as the damning may be).

So, thoughtful web, what do you say?
