I am not sure what you are preaching, Martyn, but as you so rightly do
not approve of anyone denigrating other person's opinions, you should
also desist from referring to anyone's opinion as BS!

There is a kind of biblical truth in what you say, but even the bible
bashers no longer believe that appearances do not matter. Your closest
friends will know the real you, but at a distance you are what you look
like!
If the society in which you live expects certain standards of you and
you disregard them, then you will become an outcast.
Not a good position to be in when you are asking that same society to
support your claim to the sport that you have lost!
I am an atheist, yet the society in which I live expects me to come to
church for weddings, christenings, funerals and similar occasions. And
when I am there I treat clergy with respect and reverence and behave as
if I were in a holy place! And I have not sold my principles, because
my friends know that I am an atheist!
On the contrary, I am showing due respect for their feelings and due
consideration for the people who have invited me to share the occasion,
happy or sad!
So, if you are coming on the March, please do not wear "camo gear" and
leave the body armour and knives at home. Polish your shoes, have a
haircut and a shave and try to give an impression of a law abiding
subject, honest, reliable and one that could be trusted to look after
children playing in a park - not a survival freak that should be behind
bars in some institution.
