Why would you consider free thinking to be that
bound by ONE particular form of logic? Seems a
bit constrained for my tastes.

3. Does not blindly follow social norms, and questions even the most unanimously held beliefs among our society according to decency and morality.
Shouldn't blindly oppose them either, as many rebels do.

4. Does not let blind emotions get in the way of making rational, unbiased decisions. Logic is your referee between emotions and calling things straight down the middle (including straight down the middle for heterosexual white males, which isn't "politically correct", but also for all others of any race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, nationality, political orientation, etc).
So, now why is logic, which is binding and constraining,
a sign of 'free thinking'? I'd suspect that ever changing
emotions are far more free, than the unbending mathematics
of logic.

I'm looking for REAL free thinkers, people who don't label themselves ideologically as anything. People with the ability to question and analyze anything and everything to the bare essentials (common since). I am curious how many on here fall into this category right now.
Given your conformance to only one type of
thought (that dictated by what one would presume
is classical logic), I wouldn't include you.
