I would agree with that, Kyle. Frosty has always been decent. I've never known him to denigrate anyone. Always ready to defend an indefensible position and do it without name-calling.

You're being sarcastic, right?

Since you're apparently going to hold my feet to the fire, JR, I went back and reviewed some of his past posts. Along with the examples you gave and the ones I found on my own, it appears that I should not have offered positive statements about a poster without doing more research. My limited exposure to his posts have not revealed any that were indecent. I don't think I said he was a great guy, simply that my past dialogue with him has been decent as far as language is concerned and I have not read, prior to today, any that I would object to on the basis of name calling. We have had some knock-down d**g-out conversations but he has never called me anything untoward, as far as my old-age memory can recall. None the less, I wouldn't classify my previous statement at false - possibly uninformed but not false. I promise that in the future I will be more careful about whom I say nice things about. BTW, I'm glad you're on top of keeping things on the straight and narrow on OPP.

I respect you for your response, even if it was passive aggressive.

He’s got you two fooled.

canuckus' "book learnin'" causes him to p***efully think that he's intelligent but he doesn't have a lick of wisdom.

He's got a lot of people on this site fooled.

To me it’s a backhanded compliment or agreement. You nailed it. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ»
I apologize if I misinterpreted your comments.

Oh...I just did. I think that if you don't read Permafrost on a regular basis, you might have skipped over his name-calling. But imo, he's one of those people who "smile" at you while calling you a name. I've seen him go after people who disagree with him, and after several paragraphs of name calling he ends his rant with "Have a nice day." And then a cute picture of a deer or a cat or something.

One thing I don't think you are being is passive aggressive. You are always respectful and straight with people and say what you mean without playing games, like so many on here do. In fact, I perceive you as one of the more thoughtful and respectful posters on OPP.

I could certainly be wrong by saying Bernie was being passive aggressive. It sure seemed like his following comment was.

β€œI promise that in the future I will be more careful about whom I say nice things about. BTW, I'm glad you're on top of keeping things on the straight and narrow on OPP.”

If not, I apologize again as I did above.

I guess I was trying to be a bit cute in my reply you quoted so if that's passive-aggressive, I'm guilty.

Passive aggressiveness is getting angry, but not visibly showing it right away. It's "getting back" at that person, but later on when the other person doesn't expect it. It's indirectly expressing hurt or negative feelings rather than openly addressing them at the time the person became hurt or angry. Bernie is always direct. Tells it like it is and doesn't play games.

I can see how you thought what you did with Bernie's statement, but I don't think he was meaning to "get back" at someone later on, he was just going to be more careful in the future about saying things....

You don’t need to. It's one of those things that has an unclear definition.
