I voted no and got removed by two facebook friends today. Lots of nasty messages from yes supports on facebook. Anybody else lose friends over this?

If they removed you due to your voting record then they weren't really true friends (or at least not the type of friend you should want). You are better off without them.
I was open in what I voted but I guess that's why so many stayed silent on it as they dislike the arguments it causes.
Not lost friends as such, but seen such nasty anti English comments from people I classed as friends which upset me because 1. It's pathetic and small minded and 2: Because my husband and 2 of my children are English.
Not sure whether our friendship will be the same now I've seen their true feelings.
I can't really call it victory. I worry about Scottish society? The majority have spoken yet they call us not Scottish?
because of 2 stupid non fb friends?
err perspective much?
I mean that about the nasty messages on facebook today from a majority of yes supporters.
I was in tears yesterday voting, voting for what I believed was the best thing to do yet the bully tactics of certain yes voters in my circle had managed to make me feel like I wasn't patriotic because of it.
Yet big Davie who hasn't registered to vote because he doesn't want his debt to catch up with him is ok because he is sticking one fingers up to the authorities refusing to pay poll tax.
Am sick of it all already, am sick of people telling me I'm a coward, not Scottish enough, Englafied ( whatever that means) because I chose what I felt was best.
They were being honest about not wanting friends with those voting intentions.
You are being honest about your feelings regarding people who don't want friends with voting intentions like yours.
Seems to me like a good exercise in honesty on all sides, so it's a win for everyone concerned!
Or am I missing something here?
Friends are people you know well, you know their family and other friends and have personal contact with them in the real world.
I've been called English for voting no by some of my family..quite incredible
Hahah
Ignore, stay away from FB and don't comment on it. It's sour grapes that's all it is.
I'm peed off with it too but it's just pathetic.
Sadly I knew this vote would divide us all whatever it was.
Why do people worry about what people write or think on facebook. Cannot get worked up about what a load of strangers think.
I've not got fb anymore but when I did it was only fb friends with people I actually know, I'd never add strangers.
Having a quick look today and it's just as bad though pathetic cowards seems to be the favoured insult now.
