The number of personal insults and threats toward individuals was more in that month or so before the referendum was greater that at any other time in the history of our forum.
User accounts on both sides of the debate were banned and suspended, the abhorrent behaviour was not limited to the pro-union side.
The creation of a now-dead forum with the sole aim of attacking our site and it's members compounded the reasons for the bans of many individuals.
And BetterTogether, you sound like the pot calling the kettle black when you mention "vociferous political posting that has come from just one political source". Your "vociferous political posting" is the reason we now have a political forum. We have had a great number of comments and complaints about your right wing posts, your rabid anti-Scottish attacks and the callous way that you deal with every topic and every poster that does not agree with you.
Don't expect an argument, I very rarely read this section of the forum now as you and Rob don't tend to complain about each other.
