Has passive aggressive, can be interpreted as insulting comments always been the norm on R2R?

I’m calling PETA.

Or would it be Pita, in this circumstance?

I have noticed in the last few days on a lot of threads that there is a level of passive aggressiveness that I’m not comfortable with. I have read numerous posts that seem insulting and then when someone responds, the person backs off. Is it unintentional? Is it that people don’t read their posts to see how it can be interpreted. I noticed this when members have opposing views on things. Maybe it’s not even passive aggressiveness. I just know I was sitting up all night last night (we are in the hospital, my wife gave birth to our second daughter) and I was getting angry at the way some members “speak” to others on the forum. Maybe I’m wrong and I’m just interpreting things incorrectly. Does anyone else feel this way?

Not sure if you're trying to be ironic here, but your post uses passive aggressive tactics to indirectly address passive aggressiveness in a nonconfrontational manner.

Why her the most? I was only kidding about the stick figures. Sorry.

It's ok sir.... they are in therapy. I apologize for putting you in the same category as Aquamaxx and Trident. They are up there with Hitler and Jimmy Carter as greatest monsters of all time.

Please except this meme in your honor as a token of my friendship.

Jimmy Carter! That monster! Won’t anybody think of the peanuts!

I was actually gonna PM you. I think I did the passive aggressive too good. (I was joshing) After I read it I was way past passive aggressive and into jerky territory. Super sorry, nothing but love.

If you made that sign, I owe you the next 10 frags. It shows what an amazing person you are. Sorry about the stick figure comments ;Happy

We need to start a thread how nice is some of the folks on here.

We just picked up our pup Friday. 9 weeks and 21 pounds already. Sweet as can be.

Honestly my least favorite thing about this forum is the feeling that one must "walk on eggshells" while typing. I quite enjoy a little bit of back and forth between people.

I was not intending to be ironic, but we can go with that I just wanted to see if others saw what I thought I did. I guess that just shows me how easy it is to word things in a passive aggressive way without even thinking about it. Which would make me a part of the problem I thought I saw. Whoops!

Please turn this thread into that. The pup is adorable.

I think that there are a lot of frustrated, resentful reefers out there. It's difficult not to get emotional about any relationship that demands unbounded amounts of time, money, and energy----and doesn't provide fair, consistent returns for what is invested.

I must be dense because I just let it rip. I will refrain from sentence enhancers but I will say what I think. Normally if you are not full on internet ninja warrior'ing someone they will let it go. Plus I like 98.71% of the people here so that is makes it easy to not call other people's momma names.

Nah we are good... I singled you out because I know you are a good sport. If we were mad, I'm pretty sure we would have been in PM's.

What breed? You are going to need a frontend loader for a pooper scooper if it is that big at 9 weeks. Love the color. Congrats

Look at it this way, was fun for you and gives them something to do, Win Win. As long as they didn't come talk to you then it must have not been that bad.
