Coyne Suspends Comments - Thankfully

Update: I read Andrew's post on the comments. He has every right to disable them because he has to maintain journalistic integrity. It doesn't mean that his right to free speech or freedom of the press was removed. The National Post also has more to loose than bloggers do. Money. Probably lots of it. Not to mention standing. This said:

I want to thank Andrew Coyne for suspending his comments. After reading many of them I was ready to quit making comments or visiting his site altogether. I noticed the same on Small Dead Animals where they seemed even more vitriolic.

For the record Andrew, I did enjoy your blog and many of the commentaries except for the 'whore' stuff, the comments you pointed out and perhaps some of mine (how could that be?...jk...or am I?). All of us will feel responsible for awhile, until we find another blog to attach ourselves like a barnacle.

For what it's worth, if it there is truth to and fruition of Mr. Murphy suing Mr. Coyne via The National Post for libel, he might as well SUE ME too, although I only have .25 cents. And my first born? Already spoken for by Ontario Legal Aid in 1996. And my cat? Well you can't have my cat. And my artwork? I'm working on this story line for that...picture it: "I had to smuggle it out as I am on the run as a political dissident from Canada all the while, when attempting to get the stash to a gallery in New York I have to dodge American authorities because some of it contains hemp fibres ..." You get the idea
