SPAM: Episode II

[Emi Hitokata]

Is your computer broken? *cough*too much porn*cough**cough*

Didn't you beat your older brother up? D:

[Mr. Winklewood]

...He was 10 years older then me. I was the "good kid" (so, I picked up more passive-aggressive tendencies).

Computer's working fine (for now), no, no porn at all, actually (...Don't give me that look...).

I haven't upgraded it once, though, these past 5 years. -_- Its overdue, if its going to start acting like this.

[Emi Hitokata]

Passive and aggressive are opposites =______=;;

Sorry about your compy D:

[Ryuu]

I'm back!

And tired... but I shall post!

[Mr. Winklewood]

I've heard that, but 'tis a term.

You've heard the story of the man who works in the grocery, gets yelled at by a customer and yells back? And then of his counterpart that gets yelled at by a customer and says nothing back for years on end, until finally, one day he comes to work with a gun and mows down as many people as he can before he gets capped himself by police force?

Active-Aggressive vs. Passive-Aggressive. The method of the mind's progression from a subtle person who takes all sorts of crap and lets it mount isn't healthy, but obviously there isn't just those two types of people.

Just in a discussive mood or summat.

[Emi Hitokata]

O.O Okay...

[Mr. Winklewood]

Pardon. There was more, but my mind is just connecting from A to B to C to D to E, etcetera, cutting out point C, F, G, etcetera, so it doesn't make as much sense when it comes out of my head and onto the internet. XD

[Travis]

Yay! for passive aggressive peoples.

[Aureus]

Eh, that's a tad off, Mikey.

For example a worker asked to organize a meeting might happily agree, but will then take so long on each task in the process and offer excuses such as calls not being returned or that the computer is too slow, that things aren't ready when the meeting is due to start. A colleague is forced to hurriedly complete the task, or the meeting is postponed.

Or maybe my mind is too slow to keep up T_T

[Mr. Winklewood]

I iz seeing the example, but not point you're making. Half-tired, I'm afraid... Care to babytalk it for me?

Edit: @emi - Naw. Don't put yourself down like that, I'm just stating something I've naturally observed of myself. Normally/Naturally grumpy late in the evening/early in the morning. XD

[Emi Hitokata]

:3

It's like 4PM and no one's on...

[Aureus]

<_< Did you forget about time zones, Kubo?

And Mikey, the point I was making was that your example was kind of flawed because passive aggressive people don't directly confront others, they tend to use a sort of subtle sabotage, like in the example. Or another example could be a waiter spitting in the food of an abusive customer.

*Kssshhhttt*

...

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system...

...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111oneone!1!!"

If this were a real emergency, you would have heard many more screams exactly like that one.

Thank you for your time.
