I take your point re CQN.
With that in mind, I think it would be naive to think this topic would not be discussed now that it has been made public.
I was of the view, to hopefully contain the discussion to one thread, than let it have a potentially negative impact, and derail debate and opinions on other topics, which I have no doubt the trolls would be doing.
Just trying to be pragmatic.
Hopefully that puts my rational in perspective...

It's time to break this unholy alliance.
Westminster is only interested in London and the home counties and they are happy to neglect anywhere north of the Watford Gap. Just ask those living in the north of England.
We will have freedom in my lifetime and if lesser populated countries than us can be successful then so can we.

Experience has taught me there is a way for this topic not to turn into a toxic shit fest....
anyone who is not a supporter of independence should just say nothing then vote with the silent majority just like the last time.
I'll no doubt remind myself of this advice later, then ignore it.

Aye, well article 1 UN Constitution, gives us all the legitimation we need, even better if the UN overseeing the vote, Brit Establishment will not let go without a fight, thing is they through everything the last time, they'll need tae invent some new lies for Project Fear 2.
Scotland is a Wealthy country, since 1707 our wealth was squandered by Westminster, the Excise Duty on our Whisky, North Sea Oils true wealth hidden in the McCrone Report of Scotland Oil, now wind,tidal electricity generation, one of the few country's who have the electricity & water to make Hydrogen.
Too Poor, Too Wee, Too Stupid.
The Empire is gone, only the Union remains, DISSOLVE THE UNION

I live in mainland Europe so I have no pony in this race. However, I look to the example of the Czechs and Slovaks. Those nations split apart and thrived.
As a school teacher, I now have many Ukrainian kids in my classes and integration has been generally smooth. So should those living in Scotland vote for the break-up of the union and choose to make their own decisions on the use of the natural resources they possess, they ought not to fear any over exaggerated bumps and pot holes they will no doubt encounter. I count well over 80 Slovaks among my group of friends......and only one of them would seek reunification with the Czechs.
An independent Scotland will no doubt witness some movement of people. Prague has many Slovaks and Ukrainians (including my nextdoor neighbours)...and life is generally harmonious.
I won't tell any of my Scottish family members how to vote, but I will point out the example of Slovakia as a success story of a nation of similar size. The Czechs now benefit from having a close ally at the grown-ups' table!
