I've never met anyone who is nasty about anyone not wanting to wear a poppy. I every year get a poppy but don't wear it.

There's no ethical reason for me not to wear it. I just find it impractical.

Never had anyone criticise me ever for not wearing one.

Your condescension on the other hand on this subject is rather sad. The Royal British Legion does good work and their fundraising here is not to simply "make-belief support for soldiers who died a long long time ago". The Legion works with those alive today not the past.
