All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIV

[Labster]

I actually think you've been a little off balance since we lost Epsilon to the Martian Death Flu.  DocColress is still trying to make himself out to be the victim in order to bolster his case, which means he has to accuse someone of ALLCAPS "attacking me and erasing all my efforts to start a CIVIL discourse".  I had meant to point out that he was playing the victim too, but I didn't think he would take it all that well.

Either way, outbursts like Doc's last one show weakness, not strength, and responding to it also shows weakness.  Rob, at this point you've already won, any efforts you make now can only serve to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  DocColress has already lost, and he still hasn't realized it, and thus is digging himself in deeper.  Talking his way out of a mess is way above his skill level; the appropriate strategy for him would be "fail fast".
