Deliberately answering bad behaviour with bad behaviour is not a good thing for anyone to do; there is always a better way.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
Jeph: you are a very very bad man D:
Hodges: thank you for all your posts, all of them
Readers who are going "yeah bro you show that bitch, you got some spine finally, hurf hurf huuuuurrrrf": you are acting predictably wretched and awful, and I would be disappointed, but honestly I'm not surprised at all
Marten: enjoy your heartbreak, bro! I hope your personal moral victory is worth the months of bitter recrimination! :D
Soulsynger:
There was a simple solution here:
Marten: "Hey, Padma. It's been a while." (passive aggressive tone)
Padma: "Yeah, sorry, I've been busy. Packing and stuff."
Marten: "Right." (again, passive aggressive tone)
Padma: "Anyway, are you busy tonight? I'm ... I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'd like to see you one last time."
Marten: "Oh, wait a second, you sound unwell... is something wrong?"
... you know, invest the tiniest bit of human compassion into at least one single thing you say.
I don't mean being treated like this doesn't deserve some kind of cold shoulder. But you don't have to be THAT much of a cold-hearted ice-king the second anything goes against your expectations.
ANY kind of relation is never about "an eye for an eye".

IMO, this was uncalled for and he is right to wonder about himself.
Also, if Padma has ANY intention at all to clear this up, she will meet Marten in person. Both of them have passivity-issues (granted, at different times and in different situations) and its time at least one of them breaks through. Not to save whatever it is they found in each other, but to accomplish any growth at all in this situation.

I'm just kinda angry at both of them. °O

Pardon me, but that wasn't quite what I was trying to say. I just think that his reaction was very reasonable. He has every right to be emotional. What she pulled was pretty harsh. Sometimes our feelings get the better of us. Treat someone who cares about you like dirt for a week, and they might be a little mad about it.

So Jeph didn't disappoint at all, Marten's happiness IS truly written out of the comic. :-D
