Dave, Jessica is a great reporter, has enough integrity in one fingernail for the whole profession. I know because I have worked with her. You should comment. We’re not all one big monolith.
“Declined” to comment is more than just “more dignified.” It’s more gracious. It sounds like you politely declining to accept a second helping of desert rather than rudely rejecting an advance. It has the air of “Thanks, but no thanks.”
