Lately, I've read a lot of interesting comments about passive-aggressive Orgers and I got to thinking...

Since we cannot flame and be truly aggressive toward each other, aen't we actually encouraged to be passive-aggressive? Perhaps you've never thought of it this way, but the way we choose not to reply to certain posts because it could be considered flaming... has a certain passive-aggressiveness to it. The other goes "How come he didn't say anything to that?" You gotta admit this whole "If you don't have anything good to say, say nothing" is the very root of passive-aggressivity.

IN OTHER WORDS...

IF YOU DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD,
YOU MAY BE PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE TOWARD ME.

I choose to use the smart arse option.

I choose not to reply to this thread.

That is the dumbest shit I've ever read, Aerogram.

That is actually a very astute observation.

Good for you!

You know, about 15 people have just read this thread and completely ignored it. It's a pretty alarming.

There is a LOT of passive agressive "non posts" here and it is obvious as well as sad.

Damn... now I feel like I have to reply to every post, lest someone thinks I was ignoring him.

It's a nice duck, and I really enjoy your posts.

mdiver said:

That definitely doesn't qualify as a PA reply. Congratulations. Your honesty is much welcomed.

Aerogram said:

You didn't reply to me, arse. I'm hurt. Wounded deeply.

Aerogram is passive agressivley ignoring you.

althom said:

I knew it.

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Battier, dear, don't be alarmed, but you may be a little PA here, especially with the winky...

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

I was just typing my reply.

Aerogram said:

Then I'll take my winky away, eh?

I can insult you and your arsehead posts without a winky. I am not PA!

Aerogram said:

No no no..it's not that and you've never been one to use passive agresive techniques. You are up front about things if you have something to say etc.

althom said:

I was not. I made some cocoa.. that's all.

Aerogram said:

Isn't being passive aggressive between two people that are already in relation with each other? What if I am not used to relating with another person, then if I chose not to respond, am I being p/a?

I've certainly experienced this with people that I relate with in non-internet experiences! Most frustrating, to say the least!!

Aerogram said:

cocoa?? better throw some bourbon in there

rdhull said:

I know! This thread is wicked, because I'm joking. It is a serious topic though.

You didn't reply to me Aero.

Not at all. That's why it says "may be".
