It's understandable people have strong feelings on the subject, but insulting those who do not have the same views isn't the way forward, imho - it reminds me of the tactics of some of 'Yessers' in the Indy referendum...
Isn't it better to convince people with the arguments pro/con something, rather than being pejorative?

Totally agree with this. To me, the onus is on the Leave campaign to convince with persuasive, fact based arguments. We see so much, on this forum and in the media, of people playing the various emotive angles: nationalism, stupidity, race, etc.
What we need to see are worked examples of economic/social scenarios for Stay and Leave. The can be debated and argued over.
Just resorting to name calling is no way to debate something so important ..
Of course, some delight in the endless posting of the same, mindless hyperbole but I suppose that is to be expected.
