Ollie on the other hand is a total sap, can't handle any kind of criticism or negativity because he's vain and thinks not having an opinion and not offending anyone is easier than handling conflict and standing up for himself. As shown by his speech, however, he too does have opinions and cannot handle criticism at all when it's flung his way, because it ruins his image of himself. He's not an inherently bad person by any means, it's not like he's hiding some nasty personality, he's just very self censored and will say whatever offends people the least - e.g. changing his mind about the Jim/Linda argument because Linda snorted a bit of fire out of her nostril, the dragon

It is an interesting issue because I thought Ollie was quite brave to confront Luisa about the song. I must be more of a sap than he is.
