This message describes the focus and explains
rules for the Passive-Aggressive Discussion List
list started August 24, 1997
These are topics which may or may not be
discussed:
* don't do for you 'cause you don't do for me
* tit for tat
* getting hooked in
* anger
* resentment
* listlessness
* procrastination
* getting even
* reacting
* helplessness
* control
* playing the victim
* differing cognitive pursuit and value
* letting it go
* borderline stuff
* philosophical and moral perspectives
This discussion list is for people who have
passive-aggressive tendencies, for anyone who
relates to someone with those tendencies, and for
anyone who has interest.
The list is unmoderated. People are encouraged to
challenge one another, and it should remain in
good taste.
* At the discretion of the list owner, people
* shall be unsubscribed without warning for
* flaming, character assassinations, or crude
* remarks.
The list does not have a spiritual focus.
Goodness, generosity, and brotherly love are not
de facto standards. If expressed, these must be
what you truly feel, and not what someone else
must feel as well.
In posting email to this list, please abide by a
few rules, given as follows:
Do not send binary attachments to this list,
though forwarding of other messages is acceptable.
When in a debate, use of profanity or four letter
words is not permitted while making an argument.
Nonstandard English is allowed, when not
debating, if a person is so inclined.
When in a debate, the subject line of messages
must remain the same, and messages within that
subject must be relevant.
When responding to, or rebutting another message,
please place your text entirely ahead of any
quotes, or following. Allow the other person to
be represented without interruption, and then
make your unbroken argument. For example:
>A previous message should be quoted like
>this, in its entirety. It has original
>context, and can more easily
>be read and quoted again.
A response should be able to stand alone and
be complete in itself. A response is also more
easily read and quoted this way. There is
nothing worse than reading a long message,
trying to find who said what, and following a
line by line criticism.
