He spent his childhood with Judith Raven Tomlinson as the school psychologist. Any minor disagreement he had with a classmate, he could run to mommy, exaggerating and lying. Mommy would take his side, the other kid would get in trouble, and Patrick would feel a smug sense of satisfaction from "winning".
But that lesson Mama Raven chiseled into his dense brain was a very stupid one. When someone hurts your ego, simply lie and make up a more sympathetic story. Any he said/she said situation will end with Patrick getting his way, regardless of the truth. Did Johnny call you a dork on the playground? Say Johnny beat you up, watch as Johnny pitifully defends himself by saying he never touched you, watch Johnny get detention because mommy took your side and not his.
Fast forward to his adult life, obsessed with social media, his authority figures no longer teachers but reddit admins, twitter safety workers, the SFWA executive board. Did Johnny call you a fat faggot on the internet? Say Johnny is an incel nazi alt-right white supremacist who chose you at random, demands you commit suicide, and wants to rape your wife and pets. Once again, his lies are believed and mommy takes his side, because we live in DRUMPH'S AMERICA where half the country are the most evil people in human history.
Naturally, that's how he sees all his legal proceedings going. He'll cry and lie, and the judge will take his side. If you call him fat on the internet, you'll go to federal prison for 20 years, because he emailed himself a death threat and sobbed to the judge that you sent it. There's something uniquely despicable about that, to gleefully want to see others punished 100% because of your fibs, that puts him in a category with Jussie Smolette and everyone whose made a false rape claim to send their "rapist" to prison.
Every court case just shows what little power he has, and what an angry vindictive shit he truly is, deep down in his soul. Now there are multiple legal judgements on record that show he's a fraudulent manbaby crying wolf and not a victim. Any future litigation will be immediately called into question, "hey we've been down this road before and established a legal precedent that the plaintiff is notoriously unreliable when it comes to sticking to the facts".
