The Politics Of Brunians Chapter XXXIX

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

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.

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.
