Pretty much nails you, Brunians.
Stubborn, resentful, sullen, obstructionist, failing to follow through with expectations of how to behave in a forum, failing to acknowledge responsibility for fights you've started, etc.

No, you can get by on passive-aggressive insinuations.
I am sorry, you are misusing the term 'passive aggressive'. It does not mean what you think it means.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive-aggressive_behavior:
___
Passive-aggressive behavior is passive, sometimes obstructionist resistance to following through with expectations in interpersonal or occupational situations. It can manifest itself as learned helplessness, procrastination, stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.

I am so very glad that I could be of service in helping to correct ypur misuse of this term of art.
