    Only a licensed mental health professional that has personally examined and evaluated an individual can diagnosis someone with a personality disorder. Even then...they could be wrong!    PS: I suppose you could say someone has passive-aggressive tendencies,  I'm just not fond of throwing psychiatric terms around loosely.

    Maybe he is being a wiseass, but it seems to me he is more interested in quibbling over porkshop's language than accepting the apology, which appears to be sincere

    I do not care one way or the other

    Sean-o looks like the db in the exchange though, not porkshop...

    If you read love letters, you only need past experience with somebody who may or may not have had a personality disorder, in order to evaluate an individual with that personality disorder (or any other personality disorder, mental illness, or uncertain disposition described anywhere accessible through google.)

    The passive aggressive tactic of apologizing but qualifying it in any way is the Achilles Heel of apologies.  One doesn't have to have an emotional disorder to fall into this habit and then wonder why his apologies don't always go over well, and I never said had one.  

    Gosh, a word to the wise is just that.  A wise man realizes it's no weight on his shoulders to hear it no matter to what degree it applies or it doesn't.  

    Whatever you guys want to do with how qualifying an apology renders it less effective at best and totally rejected at worst is fine with me.

    Well they won't get any 3rd party reimbursement, that's for sure!  Psychiatry has gone to hell in a hand basket anyway! (imo)
