Re: I wholeheartedly object, too...
I agree with PS here. I find that the tendency in pigeonholeing leads all too easily to arguing the position, rather than the evidence. It should be relatively (and in many cases, painfully) obvious from reading peoples' posts where they stand - you either accept/argue the evidence, or you don't. That's about the only valid distinction on a board that prides itself on scientific discussions. It shouldn't matter whether whether you're an atheist, a bible-thumping Evangelical, or someone who sacrifices goats at the full moon to Yrrtta the Insectoid All-Mother. If you can or can't support your position with logical argument is the only real label needed.
