I think you made some excellent points about everything here. That's an especially helpful point about the labels being connections; I tend to think of labels and tags as... exclusionary, I guess, in a way, but thinking of them that way makes them more of a part of a process, if you will. It's entirely too easy sometimes to let feuding issues get the better of me, as well -- when someone obviously has some kind of issue with my point of view, I'll just opt out, instead of trying to explain it.
