I've recently done a Google search on "passive-aggressive," although
that's not what led me to this group, so I have some background
knowledge on p/a behavior, and something occurs to me:

In my younger days, I admittedly had pretty bad social skills, for
which I caught a lot of flak--I've improved since. I think I may have
Asperger's syndrome--I'm serious. Thinking back on many specific
incidents, I think other people may have assumed that I was being p/a,
even if they didn't use (or even know) that terminology.

While I think p/a behavior does exist, my perception is that
accusations of p/a behavior can also be a way of persecuting a person
who is merely guilty of ineptitude. Any thoughts?
