Why is that a concern? If it's known or strongly suspected, then say so. The tsquares around here have been labeling me in every conceivable way for years now. My concern is when I read quotes from reps who lament about MEC meetings where some members try to shut up other members by telling them that opposing opinions are divisive. It's the difference between me and them. I don't want people silenced...they clearly do.

See above. I have no problem with labeling if the evidence justifies it. I do have a problem with those who try to silence others.
