this isn't a matter for the grammar police but the idiom squad should swing into action here. Addie writes "it is clear he has it out for me," apparently meaning that "he is hostile to me." The correct idiom would be "it is clear that he has it IN for me." To say "he has it out for me" implies the opposite of hostility.
