Dunno whether a post of mine got lost or whether it got shot down, just before yours, ranger. Basically, I advised Backwoodsman to avoid the forum that he gets flak from and keep his blood pressure down. Anyone who gets shit BECAUSE they wear a poppy is a rarity, and his aggression on that front is misplaced. Talk about making an issue where there isn't one. The problem is with people abusing non-poppy wearers, not the other way round. It's been called poppy fascism and it's a damn shame. Even some WWII veterans have stopped wearing poppies because of it. Anyway, cheers, ranger. I think there's an implicit link between flag-waving and poppy politicisation and I think it's very disappointing.
