This is shockingly shoddy reporting by @FT https://www.ft.com/content/a82ffa26-bc10-11e8-8274-55b72926558f …. Two people declining an invitation and some twitter snark becomes "boycott" by academics and campaigners! Who is going to invite anyone outside of their comfort zone if this is the result?
If people are willing to talk together as human beings they dont have to 'suppose'. @janemccormickuk who set it up was aiming to bring debate on from “men on mountaintops with megaphones shouting", to constructive dialogue. I don't think she is looking for excuses not to invite!

Can you stop putting words in my mouth, thanks. I am saying that for all: if we fear that inviting someone outside of our group to participate in discussion will lead to them denouncing us on the internet, quickly escalating into an article in the FT then it might chill dialogue
