I think the silence is telling.
Okay. I agree. I think the silence might be telling.Publicus said:Like I said, I wouldn't read too much into that. Your mileage clearly varies. And that's ok. It could be something or it could be nothing, we won't know until we know.

Does that sound like someone who doesn't tweet when on vacation?
I suggest it's out of character for him to stop tweeting for more than a day or so, especially without warning or any kind of announcement. This does not appear to be a planned period of incommunicado. He has 2.6 million Twitter followers (and 1.3 million on Facebook - but it's not out of character for him to not make updates there).
And to the extent that keeping the believers believing is part of his strategy, including pretending like none of this stuff is bothering him ("livin' strong and carefree"... is that lying or self-delusion?), suddenly falling off the grid is not exactly staying on that course.
Maybe he decided to go mum, maybe his lawyer recommended it, maybe he's vacationing where there is no internet, but I suspect he would not have been silent right now if the shyt Floyd flung hadn't hit the fan.
