    damn he really shot that down. “You think his representation would leave him if he was making a big decision like that?”

    The whole thing about Abbott's tweet here is he's insinuating the fact that he declares himself a journalist makes him beyond reproach. Of course, there are a lot of bad journalists and there are a lot of unscrupulous journalists, but this guy is like the character in the Hobbit movies putting on women's clothing and trying to hide in the crowd with all the "good ones."

    If you want to be seen as a competent, honest journalist, perform competent, honest journalism instead of trying to tell people not to challenge you because you're a journalist.

    This is where I'm less willing to feel bad for him punching himself in the face over and over like this. I'm a journalist some of the time. People like Henry Abbott make my job harder. If he wants to wipe himself off the mat, fine with me. His choice.

    Dame just posted these two on his story. Random posts from a guy in Portland in May/April. Seemingly random. Seems like a good sign.

    All this Abbott guy had to say was "I didn't make this story up. I got it from a reliable source that I trust. If my source was wrong about this, I apologize."

    Put on your big boy pants Abbott and get a clue.

    Starts at the 2 min mark. Dame direct messaged Abbott and his agent called Henry and they talked in person. He says he doesn't want to share what happened in the call because it was private.

    Dame: I'm talking to Neil all the time and I never said I'm going to stay home.

    Henry reinforces in a circuitous way without explicitly saying it:

    this is a leverage play.
