It's just that he doesn't have the right response. It might be that he's even disingenuously justifying his move by putting forth irrelevant arguments. It also could be that he's not even aware of it. Either way, such a move tells me that I won't miss him. If he comes back on the other hand, he might be very interesting, because he could have been through a "conversion". I'm waiting for his "Why I'm back at blogging" post.

I’m waiting for his “Why I’m back at blogging” post.

In strategic terms, it's a losing move. He doesn't get it. I wish him the best of luck in his personal echo chamber. In general, the fact that he's spoken off as being "self-important" is really telling... He always has been an oddity. He's like a bad copy of Steve Jobs.
