Excellent observation. Passive aggression often goes undetected, sidestepping the rules.
Like Wittgenstein said, perhaps didn't say or maybe I'm paraphrasing or just making this up: "language can only go so far". Someone, maybe Wittgenstein, said civility rules and codes are made to be broken.
I think we became top dogs on this planet because we seek the weak spot in any system, the game, the rules, the law, science and theology of all we encounter, and "break the bank".
