Sorry SCO!! You "pulled" that same description quite a while ago and were suitably enlightened. It is a unionist line, pure n simple, and I can perceive the logic from a backer of the United Kingdom, which you have previously professed in another thread. Come up here to Scotland and try that same line and you'll discover that Scotland is strongly regarded as a sovereign country within the UK. Indeed I'd go further and say you'd likely "get a sair face" from certain Scots who would not tolerate that kinda nonsense and your word "pedantic" could well be uttered through broken teeth as you realised too late that you "crossed a red line" and just failed a reality check!! A lesser punishment would be a brusque correction in no uncertain terms and move on!! I'd just call it "treading dangerous ground" huhhhh!!
