    In my opinion, no voters were either backward or else simply not intelligent enough to be able to separate the nonsense from the issue being voted on.

    That's the marvellous thing about opinions though; we're all entitled to one. :)
    You're right about opinions and mine is that posting insulting comments like that is not acceptable.

    On a more general note you all know what the topic is and up until today I have let a lot of things go but as its getting a bit personal now please be careful with the content of your posts and keep to the topic.

    Not sure how my post can be taken as being insulting or getting a bit personal as there's absolutely no indication whether the poster I responded to voted yes or no.
    If stating an opinion on an issue that (almost) literally divided the county 50/50 is insulting or offensive, then it says a lot more about others than it does about my comment.

    An opinion can be insulting or offensive because it depends on the content of the opinion and not how evenly the issue is split. And it's 62/38, which is closer to a two-thirds majority.

    I know right. Literally not 50/50 in ANY WAY. :D.

    Donegal was a long way off from being a 62/38 split.

    Sorry I misread your comment as being about the county instead of the country.
