I was disappointed in it - perhaps unfairly, because it's pretty much the approach he takes with everyone. I have no problem with that, but it seemed for several weeks that he was always sent to do attack pieces on Yes people, while someone else with a different style would be given the job of interviewing the No person, and give them a much softer ride. Adam Tomkins is at *least* as provocative as me, but was treated as a thoughtful, intelligent commentator whereas I was portrayed as some sort of shock-jock monster.

Mainly I'm just bored with that "controversial hate blogger blah blah" angle. Aside from one piece on Alex Johnstone I don't think we've had an article on the site that couldn't have appeared in a mainstream newspaper - the Telegraph and Mail and Express in particular regularly feature much more aggressive opinion pieces than anything we write.

The piece seemed to be based on an irrelevant premise - namely that Yes Scotland, Patrick Harvie and whoever didn't want to share a platform with us or work with us. Well, we never tried (or wanted) to work with them, so who cares? I think there are far more interesting things to say about Wings than that I've occasionally called someone a wanker on Twitter or written mildly controversial articles on unrelated subjects for different websites.

So yeah, I was sad rather than angry. I've had much worse in newspapers.
