I'm sorry to offend your sensibilities on the matter then. I don't think we see 
things that way where I am from.

The category of persons I would like to describe would include people that 
broadly reject proprietary software because of security concerns but not 
someone that just rejects some proprietary software because because of specific 
security concerns with those programs.

Agreed. I wish to self-identify as being part of the category that I'm 
describing but I have no such word that I like except maybe "speerfie" now that 
I've started the thread. I'm guessing there may be others like me.

If no one has any more ideas, I'll start advertising speerfie and you will be 
hearing it back in a few months.
