No, not at all.  

I was told, rather unceremoniously over three years ago, that posters here prefer to be called "progressive" rather than "liberal," "left," "leftist," or any other appellation.  Apparently they think it sounds better?

And although many here continue to use dismissive references to those with more traditional opinions,  I try to accommodate.

Nope.  Find something else to criticize in my remarks.
