Question for all debaters

[OccamsRazor]

I sometimes find that during a thread another member pops up and puts in their own comment.
This is always welcome because adding more viewpoints can only enrich the debate even if sometimes it may make it more difficult to follow.

The only thing is that sometimes I like to have an understanding of what their overall philosophy is. I find that, although I understand that it is quite limited, the usergroups help in this.

The point here is that a member may enter the thread with a short comment with a bias toward theism. One may therefore assume that they are a theist of some sort.
However if the member belonged to the 'Atheist' usergroup then this would provide a different view on the statement. Their statement maybe playing devil's advocate, it may be an attempt to understand the alternative viewpoint or the statement may even be ironic.

I am well aware that there is also the problem that some debaters may assume that everything someone says is worthy of ridicule purely because of the usergroups on their profile. I would like to think however that such members would show up such a blinkered view in the quality of their debate.

Does anyone else like to see which usergroup(s) a member is affiliated with?

I'd like to see a "spiritual" usergroup. Becuase that's probably where I fit better.

Personally I do not see that 'spiritual' conveys any information about your philosophical position.
This is, however, just my opinion, so I am interested. If someone described themselves as spiritual what do you think that it says about their system of thought or their belief structure?

In my opinion, describing oneself as 'spiritual' seems a deliberate attempt to appear esoteric.

(Sorry if this all sounds a bit aggressive, I do not wish it to appear this way I just have always felt a little bemused by the term 'spiritual')
