I’m honored you are following my opinions so closely, and I am not sure what else we disagree on, but that tweet was quite inaccurate

Yes, Just read it. Harrowing. And if true, then Bailey has a lot to answer for. But I truly don't see what the problem is with my having said I don't know whether or not Bailey committed the crimes he stands accused of.

For what it's worth, I think the real story here is that the women apparently tried to contact other more legitimate outlets (including the Times in the past & got no traction, so ended up posting in dubious blog comment section.
