But then why
are users being prevented from asserting their opposition
to the US in its current state as a polluting warmonger ruled by an
oil baron despot?
Because of the "Anti". Enlisting as a queer user says nothing about your
attitude about non-queer people. Positive categories are fine (ecologists,
human right or peace activists, atheist, christian or muslim), negative
categories are evil: "anti-christian", "antisemite", because they
don't say
only something about the self-categorized person but also insult other
people.
That's exactly why I had the "Anti-American users" page deleted
(which
Lir instantly identified as "vandalism"). People who are "anti" often
don't know a better alternative, or else they could say they're
"pro"-something ;-)
Besides, having an anti-America page on an American server does
discredit itself somewhat...
