Just like there are people who organize conventions and get involved with convention politics who say, "Oh, I'm not a SMOF, I'm a conrunner." Thus I predict that the term "conrunner" will eventually collect any negative connotation that "SMOF" currently has, and the next generation will rubbish the "conrunners" while they themselves do the same functions and come up with a new term that they believe is ideologically pure.
I guess one of my problems is that I now have enough perspective to see the same arguments having been made over and over again with different paint schemes, and with me having been on both sides of them at times. The generation ahead of me is welcome to laugh and point and say, "Told you so, kid!" I deserve it. I look forward to my turn at revenge in a generation.
