There is nothing wrong with voluntary self-identification of
any particular operating tools/equipment. Unfortunately, the
general thrust of these discussions has been "SO2R is bad for
contesting" - "SO2R is cheating" - "SO2R is an unfair advantage"
- "SO2R is ruining the fun for the average contester." It's no
more of a problem than the big antenna farms, the super-power
Europeans in DX contests, the "New England Wall" etc.

Nobody is discriminating against SO1R ... that is simple one
state in contest development. If a given operator is happy
with his/her performance at that level - fine. Others will
choose to master the additional tool to improve their results.
They should not be made to wear a scarlet 2R because they
do so.
