LOL, flustered?

Oh my... what... I just ... who...

;)

It's more like:

Dissenter:  You guys need to...
Group: Yes, you do need to...
Dissenter... but we have no relevance...
Group: yes, you should take the lead...
Dissenter: silence...

Deafening silence when it is suggested that someone take the lead.

dissenter:  Oh my... what... you cant mean... who me?
