>>172071I don't have any patches on my backpack, or bumper stickers on my car. I avoid clothing with big logos. But, I don't assume negative things about people who do those things. I would expect they view them as "conversation starters".
We all identify with somekinda "group". Some of us want to display that, some of us don't. But even when we don't openly display our affiliations, we do telegraph them with our hairstyles, choice of clothing, vehicle we drive, etc..Bottom line: I just don't see this as a reason to like or dislike someone.
