But most people - in or out - spent a lot of time weighing up the options and reaching their conclusions.
You can feel passionately without insinuating that others are stupid, naive, don't call a spade a spade etc. We all think differently, I'm sure there's no one on here who is a bad person, we all feel, we all are concerned for the state of things and for the plight of others. There's much too much time spent on pulling peoplke apart and not enough spent on trying to understand each other's issues and see how they fit in with yours. And I'm not speaking specifically about you.
I really enjoy, for the most part, people who have different opinions from me, How dull it would be to come here and only say "oh yes, I agree... my thoughts exactly".
I love TiBB. I wish we could all get on a bit more despite differing opinions. I am going to try very hard to ignore the baiters in future. I admire your passion even thought I don't share your views.

Considering there's barely any threads in SD where the phrase 'Remoaner' isn't thrown about I'd say your assessment on the fact that people who vote remain are more likely to be insulting is fairly wrong.
