As a board contrarion who has to be opposite of common sense and rationality, he has nothing to argue against right now. Take this time to realize retrospectively, he only says things to be counter to sentiment and he gets his kicks off of being the antagonist. This is not a conscious thing, rather a psychosomatic pathology that most likely plays out on the rest of his life…. As such… enjoy the silence. He has nothing good to say because that will contradict everything he has been saying. And when Mario brings us back, he will not take any pleasure in joining the masses, rather try and find the points of contention…. Write it down and mark my words….
