    I decided to stopped posting things about him after he made that laughable announcement that he’d pay the legal bills of anyone fired because of their tweets. He did it purely for attention, and I realized I don’t want to help give it to him anymore.

    I made an exception for this article because it’s not about him, but about how writers can’t just keep uncritically covering every stupid thing he says.
