That’s why we have courts - to make a judgement in context. <br /><br />I think it’s pretty clear from Scottish Skier’s posts over many years that he is not meaning what you are suggesting he is meaning. <br /><br />Abd the key point in both James and Scottish Skier’s posts is that this form of nationalism is the opposite of what we have seen at Westminster. It is about self-determination and democracy, about all those who live here having a right to be here and to determine the government we have through a proportional system that far more accurately reflects the government we actually want. It is not nationalism based on the notion of being superior to others, based on bloodlines, based on thinking of ‘foreigner’ as an enemy rather than as a potential friend and relative. That’s why “at independence your relatives in England will become foreigners” sounds so convincing a threat for British nationalists, but makes no sense to Scottish nationalists, or to the experience of the many of us with relatives and friends in so many other independent countries.

Or 'Scots back the union'? I hate the union so by your logic he is illegally attacking me by saying I support the evil union, which is pure codswallop. <br /><br />It's clear only sinister if you make threats, like saying 'I'm going to make sure unionists pay for the attacks on Joanna cherry' or at least 'All unionists are murdering bastards, i.e. it is clear I am attacking the whole group. <br /><br />When the papers headline 'Rangers supporters attack Celtic supporters in post-match brawl' or the like, it goes without saying that only a group of these are being discussed. Jeez.<br /><br />I clearly didn't threaten or insult anyone, merely stated that IMO opinion the attacks on Cherry in all probability were from some union supporters.

Salmond should denounce this unless voters think he / his supporters are involved. Otherwise, it will hurt them in terms of public backing, ruining any chance of a comeback. Scots are already sick of unionists attacking Yes parties without apparent indy supporters joining these. They will also never vote for a 'We hate Sturgeon and want to lynch her' party. They've already got three of these to choose from. <br /><br />Incidentally, I see he's hinting at future action against the UK civil service.
