I find it incredibly weird that Dustin sent Marathon J Edgar that specific email... and then didn't tell their followers.
I'm not doubting DerekDoubler that it occurred, just saying that it is a very weird play by Dustin. Because, if I was one of his fans, I'd be sad panda that he was having to give it up, and then a little miffed that the team didn't bother to tell me, but did bother to tell one of those hater guys. Surely they will deliver a well crafted "he gave it his all, despite the hatred, but injury is injury..."
