Just a heads up - this person is delivering all the "No" campaign's talking points in this thread so it's very unlikely they actually voted "Yes" in 2014.

Are you referring to me? My real name is linked in my profile and I can prove that:
a) I campaigned for independence in 2014
b) can prove that I was annoyed about the result
Of course, I cannot prove that I actually voted yes as it's a secret ballot. I can put you in touch with my mum though, who voted no. Perhaps she's lying too and she'll lie to you about what I said I'd voted for. She loves her son and we're into lying to people while using our real names… <insert relevant sarcasm emoji face>
Jesus wept. What is it with HNers who want to lie about others they disagree with politically, on HN? This isn't Facebook or Twitter.
As a Catalan that wants his country to be independent: I'd cry tears of joy if our western neighbors were half as nice as you the English are. I was not pro-indy before I got to know first-hand the callousness of even moderate spaniard unionists.
