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.
