I don't think many people will buy the narrative that the Tories just want to discuss the matters at hand somehow.

And it transpired that none of the personal attacks that appeared in the papers against Clegg originated from Tory HQ.
As I said, whenever I've heard Tories interviewed they've slammed policy rather than person, with the exception of Gordo as he's responsible for much of what's gone wrong, being the PM.
Contrast that with Lib/Lab, where rather than tackling the other parties' policies head on, instead they claim things which were never said (similar to how Arthur has been doing).
Even the local candidates are at it. The flyer from our MP (Tory) covered what he'd done, what he would continue to do. The ones from the lib/labs barely mentioned what they'd do if elected, with the lib one going as far as to claim that a Tory vote would be wasted saying they couldn't win here!
