EXACTLY!!!! These labels should definitely be left in place because
it would let a newbie immediately see that Roy C. and other 'advocates'
(cough-cough) are a bunch of idiot juveniles who are not capable of
intellectual debate and must resort to name calling and insults.
Great idea. There's nothing that will "put off" a serious newbie to a
group more than to learn what a load of crap these people are. So yes
Roy... do keep up the great 'advocacy.' I'm sure that anyone who comes
to this group with an open-mind will be immediately impressed by your
labeling system and view you as a very smart person. (sarcasm)
