      4. You can believe (as I do) that Kay improved magazine and also be concerned that he had many quarrels with freelancers.

      5. Key problem all along is Walrus is mainstream magazine & Kay is right wing provocateur. Imagine Ann Coulter editing Atlantic Monthly.

      6. so, if you write about Walrus story as "PC run amok" or "free speech under threat" you are doing it wrong.

      7. Since people have objected to Ann Coulter at Atlantic Monthly let's say: imagine Fred Barnes editing The New Yorker.

      8. Deeper problem: Jon's aggressive social media persona at odds with editing mainstream inclusive mag. Imagine Remnick in twitter fights

      9. Globe has good write-up of Walrus controversy which confirms Kay leaving from longstanding issues:https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/jonathan-kay-resigns-as-editor-of-the-walrus-amid-conversation-on-cultural-appropriation/article34983133/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&service=mobile …

      10. As Globe makes clear, there was a tension between Jon-the-columnist-who-loves-to-provoke & Jon-the-editor-of-national-magazine.

      11. I've rescinded my Coulter comparison but too many people are in denial of Jon's provocations. Kay on racial profilingpic.twitter.com/drUpUIxGM2

      13. Only problem with Jon-the-provocateur is he's half hearted.He'll say something trolly, get challenged, say "I'm just raising questions"

      Jeet Heer‏Verified account @HeerJeet 14 May 2017

      14. Jon's "just raising questions" gets followed by people challenging him on twitter & him blocking them (as he has me). Not productive

          Wait, are you saying anti PC types aren't actually interested in the viewpoints of others? Shocked!

          So now you're comparing @jonkay to Paul Wells, Warren Kinsella , Bruce Anderson and Peter Mansbridge ?

          I can respect a provocateur, but a thin-skinned provocateur is a hypocrite. If you’re going to dish it out, you have to be able to take it.
