: It's interesting when passive-aggressive, tone-policers, and the like don't get the reactions they want -- or reactions at all. It usually goes one of two ways, either they escalate publicly with the target and any adjacent, to bait-triangulate, or escalate privately but to other audiences, to appeal for sympathy and do some outrage-farming.

People actively dislike it when you won't carry their baggage.
