Why would I display an emblem of national significance if I did not consider my nationality significant?
I hope you've learned the importance of being precise.

Originally posted by StarrmanWhat about your last post where you just reformulate what we said in order to seem we were all meeting half-way? Is that the counterproductive precision you're talking about?

I suppose we'd need to take a survey of all anti-patriots here to find out. For practical reasons such as meetups I might inform people of my country, but personally I don't display my country because I think it alludes to some form of national support. I accept that not all flag bearers are patriots, nor are all anti-patriots bound to be against the use of flags.
Is everyone happy now?
Not if you live in Channel islands or isle of Man ... they do not have a flag to fly on RHP (while I have a choice of two)
Anyone else flagless?
