A spiteful side comment · 2:59am Dec 23rd, 2018
I do have a specific person in mind here, but I'm using the term people to be ambiguous.
When I point out problems in other people they need to fix, they tell me to stop being such a jerk. When I tell them that it was a pretty jerk thing they just did themselves, they say I'm deflecting blame away from myself and they say smugly, "But whatever, I'll let you do you here."
I swear, I want to axe your balls off so bad and feed them to you raw. Where's your manhood? How much of a man were you before, anyway? To insult people and put the blame on them? You don't even deserve vertebrae. Allow me to pop some of them out and throw them on the floor. Maybe then you'll be as spineless as the people you call spineless yourself.
Yeah, those people really annoy me.
harsh but true
There are plenty of people like that on this site and I can't stand any of them.
So, just to be clear, you're criticizing people and then getting mad when they express irritation with your doing that? Or is this just about their being passive aggressive in response?

It's their passive aggressive response that can irk me. I, just as anybody else on the site, do have the right to point out flaws in other people, but I do it so they can fix that flaw, not tear them down and insult them because they have it. This person I'm referring to has is a bully for those reasons, but when I tried to explain that all he does is berate and hurt, he said I was being a jerk and I needed to stop.

Um, it sounds to me like you gave some unsolicited criticism and got a defensive reaction as a result. You may not have intended it to be hurtful, but it's entirely likely that it was taken that way. Has it occurred to you that, as far as he's concerned, you are being insulting and that maybe you should stop?
Passive aggression can be annoying, but a lot (and I mean a lot) of people on this site have serious problems with dealing with others. And nothing triggers a defensive crouch quite like an anonymous voice over the internet saying there's something wrong with you.
