And as to Teribus we seem to completely disagree over politics. He is obviously very anti-SNP and independence so it must be galling when you see the No side win (even if it was narrowly) the referendum only to see support for the Nats, Greens etc blossom even further. He would even like to see the end of the devolved Scottish parliament. So he may be in step with a narrow majority as far as independence goes - but he is way out of step with the vast bulk of Scots as far as devolution goes. But I totally agree with him totally in that we can discuss these without personal attacks.

To give people down south an idea of what it was like in my household during the referendum. I am not a member of any party, and have never been a member of any party but yes I did help support the Yes campaign to some modest exent. Mostly in providing music at rallies etc along with other local folk musicians who were almost to a person Yes supporters too. At the same time my English born wife was not only a supporter of Better Together but she actively worked, and still does, for the local Tory Party. We didn't fall out.....and households like that existed all over Scotland. Despite the odd bit of egg throwing and some eejits from both sides spouting hate onine it was in general a flowering of democracy where vast numbers of people were engaged with the issues. No-one needs to fall out over it.
