Bria May Not be Going to Vegas

Not being au courant on exactly what passive aggressive exactly entails I checked out some articles.
For example: http://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/counsellor-articles/what-is-passive-aggressive-behaviour

Sorry, Oz, I can't find much that is applicable.

But if you are referring to what a few call my "negative" comments about the team, it's actually a part of my world-view regarding sports discussions and the nature of sporting activity.

I believe that you can enjoy, even love and solidly root for and admire the artistic excellence of a team without leaving your brain in the trash with regard shortcomings, especially by the adults in charge but most often by the uncritical fan base.

In the case of this post and the thread I started based on Geno's interview.

I've stated that in the final 4, Bria was a major catalyst in both of those wins…over shadowed at the end by the media and almost forgotten, but her aggressive play and made shots at key moments early were momentum changes. Without her healthy, the team is much weaker.

And I have been the "voice in he wilderness" with regard Geno's handling of the "kids" last season. I understand that the base is prepared to deify the gentleman; I admire him and his accomplishments to a very high degree, have been a season ticket holder, watch and re-watch every game. Have seen the final 4 re-runs a dozen times, with great satisfaction, the last time last evening.

During the final, the announcers twice, referred to Geno's admitted disconnect with team last season, quoting him…And then when he voiced…what would you call it…mild apprehension (in my transcribed post)…the hairs on the back of my neck suggested that there were still some issues to be worked out.

Isn't it better to have civilized discussions about such matters, even heated ones, without name calling and personal disparagement?

Please…let's discuss the issues rather than calling each other names.

I did not call you a “name”…name calling would be , e.g.. Asinine Apple Knocker, or Petulant Pissant, or Depressed Doofus, or Nattering Negative Newfie….the kind of childish and churlish attention seeking message board stuff that I so assiduously avoid(sorry if I am laughing this fine fall morning). What I did, indeed intended to do, was characterize your post(you asked why I was a “critic”, as I “disliked” your post…a name BTW,).

IAC, I guess I have a short leash for any poster using an injury to one of our beloved players to advance their own manipulative posting agenda. Hey, I know this is a message board…and we all have different styles and positions. But, you did ask and I answered. Go ahead and have the last word, no need for me to further bore others here.

I can.


They might appear in agreement, polite, friendly, down-to-earth, kind and well-meaning. However, underneath there may be manipulation going on - hence the term "Passive-Aggressive".

And

It is a creation of negative energy
