Malignant Narcissist, it is a Psychological 'Death Sentence' for him to admit he is wrong...ergo, he goes to extreme lengths to pin the blame on others (see 'Vandals' cutting up the entire length of the Reflecting Pool.
What's interesting is that Baron also follows the same path...for example, before he invented a bogus excuse for hitting the "Ignore" button, I proved him wrong when he linked an MIT study regarding Masks and Social Distancing...and again after a NEJM study on the same topic....Did he apologize? NO and NO.
Baron is a certified Hypocrite...and his "Rules" have Zero credence.
