As a general question to the thread: what do you think is going on in Ron's day-to-day that he feels the intense need to come interact here? Work, family life, hobbies?
So we've got two major areas to look at what's going on with Ron; his life in general, and his life as specific to this case.
Starting with his life in general:
Ron's job, for all he pretends that it's one of status and wealth, is a boring, middle-class job where he does paperwork all day. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it pays the bills and it's reliable work (I would say good, honest work, but we all know what kinds of loans those companies push thanks to the 2008 housing crisis...). However, if we look at the way Ron tries to pump it up into something it's not, as if loan officers are a beacon of honesty and integrity, we know that Ron isn't satisfied by it. He hungers for something that feeds his ego and finally gets him the respect and power he wants. So no positive brain chemicals from his job.
Ron's hobbies look to be primarily watching sports & other TV and playing video games. He showed us all his arm when he showed off his tattoo on the canuckleheads, we know he's not getting any serious exercise. If he was showing off his macrame or his garden or whatever productive hobby he had on twitter, we all would have seen it and made fun of it, so we know he doesn't have a hobby that accomplishes anything. His hobbies are all dopamine-fueled, sedentary things. They're the kind of hobby that draws you in with the promise of dopamine, but ultimately leave you hungry. So no positive brain chemicals from his hobbies.
Ron's emotional life is the same way. His mom is a bitch, his dad is ashamed of him and calls him his wife's son, his ex-wife Andrea who is supposed to be one of his biggest supporters noped out of the video that was supposed to be her vindicating his narrative of being a changed and virtuous man. Despite how important that was to Ron, she just couldn't be bothered (she wouldn't follow through on something he desperately needed - she doesn't actually love him). Social media presents a picture of his relationship with his son as one of neglect. Ron Jr.'s formative years happened at the height of Ron's abusiveness, meaning that the bonds that are usually formed between father and son were seriously damaged. They may be able to act like they get along now, but repairing the underlying damage would take serious work. Given RJs youtube shenanigans and the fact that he's on Tinder trying to hook up with college girls, it seems only logical to think that Ron hasn't put in that effort. So the bond with his son is fake, and deep down, he knows it. Then there's Monica, for whom he's sacrificed so much, and done so much work! And during the lockdown, she's become his only real source of interpersonal support, and we've seen him push himself further and further into her life - and she's tolerating it. She's not embracing it (or she would have been there for him during those interviews). She's willing to go through the motions to keep the peace, but both her and RJ are desperate to get out of the house and away from Ron. That, and we got to see how often he was calling up his lawyers during the opening phases of the lawsuit, when they believed they could get infinite money from Vic. Now they're in appeals and there's a limit to how much they can recoup, so even his lawyers have probably been telling him not to call or email. So no positive brain chemicals from his relationships.
Then throw in the stress everyone's been feeling from corona-chan and the economy and the social/political chaos, and Ron doesn't have the emotional resilience to deal with it because all the places that should come from are sucking away his emotional reserves instead of filling them.
And moving to this case in specific:
I think we have to look back to when Ron first went private on Twitter. There's two possible reasons for this: he was sick of the internet mob and needed his hugbox, or he needed to have only trustworthy people in his inner-circle for strategic reasons. I'll give Ron credit, I see nothing in his behavior that suggests he shies away from confrontation with internet randos. That means when he was purging followers like Mao on steroids, he was trying to surround himself with loyalists. And then he got banned anyway.
If he'd been banned because of a report from a Vic stan, that would be the easiest receipt to produce ever. And Toye hasn't produced it. He's been asked, he could have done it. I'd bet good money he got banned because of someone on his side getting sick of his behavior. Ouch!
The threadnaught was invaluable, because it gave him the impression that he was in control. Remember what he said in the Canucklehead's interview; originally all the internet brigading was really stressful, and the thing that changed it was convincing himself that all the people who didn't like him were incels living in their mother's basement, or bots. The idea that he could face genuine opposition from respectable people was devastating. He was supposed to have won back in October. The judge even told him! The Vic stans were supposed to melt in a fit of despair like the Wicked Witch of the West. But they didn't. They hung around and the decision didn't seem to change their opinion about Vic at all.
So the Threadnaught turned on him when he needed them (familiar pattern, anyone?), and the steps he thought would have given him control of the narrative hadn't worked. He needed to find a new tactic, and he desperately needed to reinforce his belief that the people who didn't like him were stupid, unlikeable non-people. So he shows up here and focuses his attention on two groups of people - the group who coddle him, and the group who most closely resembles the bots he thinks we all should be. Anybody who seems to have a solid intellect, he ignores completely because they're too big a challenge for his world view. He thinks that if he makes things unpleasant enough for them that they'll feel enough pain that they'll bail on the conversation. He can purge his opposition. The irony there is that his tactic is self-defeating. The most important part of his narrative since JosephTX revealed his divorce records is that he's a changed man. He read all the books. However, it's blatantly obvious that his behavior right now is perfectly aligned with an abusive asshole, and perfectly opposed to what is taught in those self-help books.
What a loser.
