I see what you're saying, and I agree. My response was largely meant as a subjective telling of my own disdain for labels and my inability to communicate. I have no doubt that there are many people on this site who are perfectly comfortable answering this question. I don't see anything wrong with that. For me, however, using a label would be in conflict with who I am and who I want to be. I'd like to put myself out as undistorted by preconceptions as possible. This method is probably much slower, but I think it leads to a better understanding of me for both myself and those who wish to understand me.
