It's pointless to classify a person as a whole, human beings are all mixed up inside! However you can classify thoughts and in the case of public people, who argue with some consistency, it makes sense to associate the classification with their name.
I haven't studied you in that way. I faintly remember a thread about how you went from conformist christianity to a form of pluralist buddhism behind only to abandon it in favor of old school rationalism. Unless i confuse you with another user name. This sounds like a typical stitching pattern of second pass integration. Two forward, one back. Your cognitive line, which is the one aspect that can be said to be at one stage, precisely, does not equal specific views, it's the capability to work through all subjects (and specific lines of intelligence, such as thinking, idealism, perception), that may be relevant to you, in a certain way. So when your overall cognitive line is pluralist or integral, that does not mean all of your views or attitudes are or ought to be integral. If some of your views on some subjects lie dormant in a conformist state, you have to transfer them into a rational condition, before you can transfer them into pluralist and integral conditions. You have to wait until all the right chunks of perception, thinking and feeling ripple into consciousness, before you can integrate them together into a higher formation of order and compatibility. If this process isn't obvious to you, intuitively, i would say your cognitive line might be at early or mid vision logic.
I have only skimmed some posts in this thread.
