It's not hostility, It's just honesty... In my honest opinion, If you're immigrating to another country (I can understand if it was forced) you should feel pride in your new home, not feel nostalgic and say something like this. A good example, let see (I know it's not exactly a perfect example but it works.) Server merge topic: A forced merger (lets go with Remora -> Leviathan) A lot of Remorans felt pride with their server, a lot felt pride in their new server. A voluntary merger, Someone who purposely left and went to another server, do they feel pride in their server? Not exactly or else they wouldn't have wanted to leave... Am I right?
So by virtue of someone having to leave a country for any reason other than a gun to the head they must relinquish any and claim to that country by way of pride or otherwise?
There are more than 2 answers to such questions.

Can't we just let it slide? If it's too big of an issue for people we could just have the flags auto-populate themselves from ARIN WhoIs lookups.
That's a whole new can of worms you're considering opening there. Remember the whole "you're holding onto the logs of my IP addresses too long" fiasco started here by that French guy whose name I can't remember?
IMHO I'd take a few angry nationalists over a horde of angry privacy nuts any day. [plus IP geolocation sucks.]
