In reply to the discussion: I wonder if Scott Adams (Dilbert) reads DU? [View all]zeemike
(18,998 posts)76. Because it is push back
And unfortunately push back is sometimes the only way one can deal with things when they will not listen to you but talk at you...it is provocative for sure and an attempt to force the moment to a crisis...it happens all the time. But failure for you to recognize your part in it makes it a never ending war with the consequences of all wars...loss for both sides and victory for anger and mistrust.
But what makes passive aggressive is doing just what you did...re interpreting it to say that you are being too polite when you know that is not my point...and then telling me it makes no sense...and then asking if you got it right.

I have to agree because you say so? I asked for the thread that this was in retaliation to.

People can't seem to comment on the content of posted cartoon, so they vilify the cartoonist.
