If someone refers to a person as being passive/aggressive, what does that term mean to you?

All the bulbs do not light, use caution when in their presence.

That is one of the most off topic remarks you have ever made and there have been many.

Is it passive-aggressive if I ask you why you were eating cheese melted on potatoes when you are on a diet?{#emotions_dlg.lol} {#emotions_dlg.devil2}

*spews coffee* ROTFL!

Lots of board psychologists out today - and most are incorrect.

I agree - the term is tossed around too often around here. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

Hi, Cakers! Actually, I think many of the posters have a pretty accurate idea of the meaning and after all we were asked what it means to us. I thought it was a pretty interesting discussion, enjoyed seeing all the perspectives.

Smile

And I gave mine.

Quotes from wiki do not indicate somebody understands the term.

Yes, you did!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} I think that's great, I just wanted to add my opinion. I didn't mean anything negative in my comment, and apologize if I worded it poorly. I found it really interesting to see all the points of view on the topic.

And I agree, when we cut and paste from other websites doesn't always mean we understand them completely.
