3. Coyne, for those who don't know him, is one of Canada's premier political columnist: a crisp, reasonable voice of the centre-right

4. I disagree with Coyne about -- rough guess -- 97% of everything. But he's an interlocutor, not a foe.

5. Especially considering the frothier voices on the right, 98% distilled talking points & spite, Coyne is a refreshing voice.

8. I can understand why Coyne decided to take a break from twitter. There's a cost/benefit to what twitter can give you.

10. Cost/benefit ratio is different for different people. For women, costs build up quicker because of amount of misogynist hate out there.

11. At Coyne's level of popularity (70K plus followers) you're likely to get more trolls & twitter an become a massive time drain.

12. So I understand why Coyne wants to take a break. He must be going through a mixture of relief & occasional withdrawal spasms.
