"Hey Brain, we want to use this space for <Thing>"
His response is to insist that they do not "need" the space, that "need" is a LIE, and that LIE requires an ethics inquiry!
What the shit? He then does the exact same thing for the email about them not recommending students for his program. "ABET says we aren't good enough, and your program is part of that, so we are going to go in a different direction" and again his reaction is insane!
"“Marshall - my colleague, my confidant, my advisor, my friend - you are over the line." He calls this retaliation!
Imagine going to your boss's boss, and nitpicking every single word of their communication to you, and then when he says "Hey uh you're a little out of your lane here" doubling down!
Now imagine believing it is unethical for your boss's boss to tell you that you are out of line! Imagine keeping your job after being such an unmitigated ass to an entire department and insisting you cannot possibly be wrong like human communication is some sort of logic system!
Sure is funny how much context has been removed from that email too!
Marshall Brain killed himself because he couldn't deal with perfectly valid college/educator administrative interaction! Poor guy must have lost his marbles.
