Shia just means family...
Anyone who is a shia just means to say that they are with the family of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him.
Then there are different types of shias, twelvers or sixers or zaidees etc...all of the imams being from the progeny of the Prophet peace be upon him.
If you want to say I am shia...then tell me what is wrong with being shia?

And if you think you are sunni...then tell me what madhab of sunnah you follow?

I mean ... I've looked into the history of this shia/sunni rift and it doesn't make sense for you to say that I am "misguided" when you don't even know enough about your own madhab's history. no offense.
