I can strongly recommend Philosophical Disquisitions as a philosophy blog. Where I know the material, the author is accurate, fair and insightful, so by induction, the same will be true of other material. Some very good stuff lately on causation.
Historian and philosopher of science, especially biology. Apple tragic. Pratchett fan. Curmudgeon. Punster. Fatso.

Try to remain coherent, polite and put forward positive arguments if engaged in debate. There are plenty of places you can accuse people of being pedophilic communist sexist pigs; don't do it here.
