      1. I'm going to do a mini response to @HeerJeet on @acoyne. Because it's Friday and what else are we going to talk about.

      2. Coyne's writing is razor sharp and when he's right, he's right. I'm thinking of him on mandatory voting recently, for example.

      3. But that "when he's right, he's right" quality led to some very specific blind spots.

      4. A pillar of his anti-abortion position, for example, is that the Senate is not democratic.

      5. His income splitting position wasn't about analyzing income splitting, so much as arguing for a flat tax, without directly saying so.

      6. This desire to swing the conversation back to a few hobby horses didn't hurt his columns too badly, but on Twitter...

      7. ...it could be magnified dramatically. In my opinion, nowhere was this more apparent than when discussing identity politics.

      8. So, if @HeerJeet is going to suggest the Coyne/Twitter split involves the naked-lady-comet-shirt, it's worth noting this isn't new.

      @SpartanVTyranny @HeerJeet Yes, he was routinely dismissive and sarcastic about gender issues.

      @jeffhume Part of the reason I responded to @HeerJeet - it's tough to call the people trolls when they were responding to fights he'd pick.

      @SpartanVTyranny @jeffhume To clarify - I didn't mean trolls were on identity politics front (where I've criticized AC). I meant Levantites

          @HeerJeet You might not have, but he was quite proud when a column would get him accused of being both a left- and right-wing shill.

          @HeerJeet So if you're going to suggest "trolls" got to him, it's important to keep in mind who he thought "trolls" were.
