<DIV dir=ltr>I think sometimes passive aggressiveness can come off as being insulting. I remember in the whole lockers thread, you had to go through and disagree with every single point I made in one of the emails, and that came off as a bit insulting. I think it's fine to disagree with someone, but when one goes out of their way to disagree with every single point, it comes off as a bit hostile. It's important to note that email lacks visual cues for empathy so although you may feel cool and collected, you may be angering someone else across the net. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>I disagreed with all of your points, because i disagreed with all of your points. Deal with it. You failed to rebut my critique of your position. Not my fault. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm do not disagree for the sake of being disagreeable. I believe in what i say, and think through my positions very carefully.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think i shall never conform to the West Coast behavior of agreeing just be be agreeable. </DIV>
