Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is highly aggressive and accusatory, employing emotional and descriptive expressions such as "stabbed in the back" and "ranting." Direct personal insinuations are used (such as mentioning alcohol residue/hangover symptoms), and the opposing side is required to immediately smooth over the situation. The tone is confrontational and demands accountability.
