The point is to keep the dictionary smaller and easier to maintain

Definitions will redirect you to the root noun/verb so that the word is only explained once and all its derivations only explain what changed from the base word

As someone who shares DarkCloud’s opinion about myself, I believe other people being shit in other ways doesn’t make me not shit

To add to the other comment, albino babies have not been treated kindly in the past

Im more of a Medjool guy myself. Not sure what everyone else is talking about.

The linux sucks community is his own, and he instantly bans anyone that even posts neutral comments. You have to agree, or you’re not on there. I’m not exactly sure if he’s just a persistent troll or if he has some weird reason to hate linux this much. What’s obvious is, he’s not interested in discussion.

That’s what you eat in the tower that shares its name

Badger really needs to start developing their pieces more…

You’re right in that (in)effective would work here, but I did intend to also apply judgment. It often is not the most effective technique, but I also believe it is often unnecessarily hurtful and used as petty vengeance. I see it as an immature reaction from people who don’t care about the receiver, or haven’t developed other ways to communicate.

Take your shitty boss example : You’re angry at them, and you want to express it. Anger is used to signal your desire to change a situation. If you’re leaving, the only thing left to change is their behavior to future employees. If you use passive aggressive methods, you’re either hurting them back for simple vengeance, in which case you just don’t care about them as a human being because this hurting serves no purpose, or you’re trying to change their future behavior. In that case, you will probably just paint yourself as an asshole, which will invalidate your position in their mind. It might sometimes work, but I would not consider it effective compared to being direct for example.

It’s all kind of behaviour that aims to harm, hurt, or anger someone without being upfront about the intent.

If I hit you or insult you, that’s not passive. If I say “some of us actually do the dishes around here” within earshot of someone that I believe doesn’t do them often enough, that’s passive aggressive.

Like most behaviors, it’s not inherently bad… but I would argue it often is. There are better tools out there to solve problems.
