Yes we get why you don't wear poppy, but there is a difference between just not wearing one and making a point of telling the whole world that you aren't. People might except it more if he didn't make a song and dance over it. If he quietly respected those that do, people might respect why he doesn't.
LittleSquirt, very valid points you make there. Thing is he's the type never to try that because he wouldn't be getting his 15 minutes of annual fame.
