An offer to my keyboard warrior critics: step out of the shadows and debate me openly on the next Scot Goes Popcast

There are a number of keyboard warriors on the Wee Ginger Dug blog, the vast majority hiding behind a username that does not reveal their identity, who seem absolutely obsessed with me.  They regularly make passive-aggressive comments, some of which refer to me by name, others that don't but leave little doubt that I'm the target.  I made one of these individuals an offer earlier this evening - come out of the shadows and actually debate with me properly on the next edition of the Scot Goes Popcast.  Let's see if your claims about me, or about the Alba Party, or your absolute faith in the SNP leadership to deliver an independence referendum in the absence of external pressure, can withstand scrutiny or cross-examination.

So far I haven't heard back from him, so I'm now going to extend that offer to any of the regular tag-team on Wee Ginger Dug, or indeed to anyone who participated in the extended and often abusive Twitter pile-on as I was publishing the results of our comprehensive poll on GRA reform and related gender issues.  The deadline to email me and accept the offer is tomorrow night - the reason for that is simply that I'm keen to record one more podcast of some description before the end of the year, and if no-one comes forward I'll need time to contact potential guests.

This is not in any way a trap - if you listen to the previous Popcast episodes you'll find that I don't hog the discussion and that guests are always given space to develop their points.  I won't edit the recording in any way unless there's an exceptionally good reason (for example a legal issue or something like that).

If you'd like to volunteer before the deadline, my email address is:  icehouse.250@gmail.com

On past form, this will be the moment when a large number of very noisy people suddenly fall totally silent.  But go on - prove me wrong.
