Now see, I guess I don't understand what passive-aggressive means because I would think that his confrontational, sometimes sarcastic style has any passivity to it. Wiki describes P-A as "passive sometimes obstructionist resistance to following through with expectations in interpersonal or occupational situations" and says "It can manifest itself as learned helplessness, procrastination, stubbornness, resentment, sullenness or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible. I'm not sure how that (or anything else in the article) applies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive–aggressive_behavior<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive%E2%80%93aggressive_behavior> BTW, apologies to JW for this behind-the-back-in-front-of-your-face discussion. (Is that P-A?) Doug
