Passive aggressiveness

I'm thinking of someone's blog .. RF .. Wonders if I now have the same readers. You never .. deleted .. know, do you.

Though there it's more just aggressiveness though there's a bit of the old passive aggression thrown in now and then. But going through RF and kind of expanding in thought it takes me to places where I've seen quite a lot going on.

RF asked a question that I didn't answer but I will off that board about people who verbally attack you and then try and manipulate, sorry, win you round to their way of thinking. It's just another way of doing the power over thing. You didn't take much notice of the out aggressive shit so they try another way.

They'll turn as soon as they think they can get away with it. Make what they see as one little mistake, or show what they see as some kind of vulnerability and they'll be back there to get the aggression going again.

If you catch on to it, you can just sit back and watch while they waste their time running round and round in circles and you can just leave em to it while you go off and get on with something you'd prefer to be doing. Because after a while, however hard you try, they just become very, very boring.

Or something.
