It can manifest in many forms, but the worst offenders here will post a mocking comment with no explanation. Then when you call them on it, they'll claim, unsucessfully I'll add, ignorance, lol.

Simply put, it's being aggressive without being confrontational. Using behaviors that are troublesome, like not cooperating, gossiping, etc.

Sereriously? Someone uses the question to go after other posters?
That's pretty passive-aggressive right there.

Nobody is going 'after' anyone. OP asked a question, we are free to respond as we see fit.

It's when a husband tells a wife, who wants a divorce, to go ahead and call a lawyer. Then he's mad that she does call the lawyer.....voila! passive/aggressive.

Simply put, the way I would explain it is this: Wife asks husband a question about anything, his response - "I don't care, do what you want". So she does what she wants and he becomes angry.

I noticed it talked about on another thread
and didn't want to go O/T.
Those posters who say something in a veiled manner, knowing full well it is unpleasant, then end it with, "I'm just sayin'." That's passive-aggressive. They want to look like sugar wouldn't melt, but...
P.S. I just got a "An unexpected error has occurred." banner, so do not know what's going to happen when I click "post."
