It's interesting as well for me to revisit this post - and depressing as well to realise that the <i>ad hominen</i> attacks and woeful level of debate continues apace, something that's especially worrying when its about something as serious as debates about Scotland's constitutional future.

“1. If I am throwing a dinner party in my home and you show up at my doorstep and I don’t know who you are, I won’t let you in. In short, with few exceptions, I don’t allow anonymous comments.

2. If you do come in and you become rude to me or my guests, I will ask you to be nicer–once. If you continue to be rude, you will be thrown out and you will not be allowed back in.”

Seems fair to me…
