The Soviet Union wanted to retain all their satellite countries (Estonia ,Lativa etc) ,they even had a referendum on it but all these countries gained their independence anyway .Scotland is a country in its own right ,not just a region of the UK so the people of Scotland should only have that right to vote on their independence.It would be like the Czech Rep. saying to Slovakia "no you cant have your independence,we voted against it" ,just doesnt work that way.
The Western Isles voted for SNP ,the Orkneys and Shetlands for Lib-Dems,they maybe islands but they are still part of Scotland and as the vote is democratic and just like everyone else will just have to accept it,cant see them starting up their own parliament or "free the Orkneys " campaign
History goes back more than the few years that you seem to be aware of. Who gets to decide which previous version of the world map is the one you have a right to?

... and you keep banging on about the SNP holding another referendum in 4 years and another 4 years or some such twaddle. Salmond doesn't get to decide - even he knows that! He has said himself it is a once-in-a-generation event.

I think more people would agree with you if it didn't seem like you were making it up as you go along.

I think this was covered in Post 336 and the response.
The SNP get to choose, and as long as they ( the SNP ) all agree, then that is the correct way forward.

It's all good so long as you randomly sprinkle the word "democracy" in every now and again. Bonus if it's immediately followed by telling people what they have to do.

You clearly aren't (freedom) familiar with the practice of (freedom) subliminal advertising. Alex (freedom) Salmond clearly (freedom) has and is making (freedom) good use of it to (freedom) hypnotize some people in his (freedom) doctrine of (freedom) independence from (freedom) Westminster.
