While it's easy to agree that there are a lot of useless and lame categories, it's also the case that campaigns to purge these categories do more to create friction than to solve problems. With patience those with an identity crisis will eventually go away at which time the pointless categories can be removed without much fuss.
BTW, Methylated Wesletarian (who are dead) need to be distinguished from Ethylated Wesletarians, who are merely drunk. This must be divided into two categories. :-)
That's being unnecessarily categoristic - youre chauvinistic categorism is no doubt motivated by a nefarious desire to destroy the fragile compact that holds the various tangential and differentiated branches of the Methylated Wesletarian community together under a single monicker.
