What stood out to me about the recent Twitter CSAM comments, is how Nick was dancing around what he wanted to say, but stopped just short of saying anything direct, or straight-forward.
Between having to swallow his tongue when arguing with that Duncan guy, and now getting wallet raped by Montegraph, I think Nick is shook. He won't come out and say what he wants to say, and has to mince words because he's afraid of facing consequences, and afraid of having to stand by the things he says (as if that were ever going to happen).
