re: #436 Obdicut

Well, I think it’s not that terribly uncommon to look at something you thought was the height of sincerity at the time, and in a way it totally was, but then later on you realize that really, it put you in a very convenient position, and not just by accident. Especially when it is about matters of guilt, or when you’re a teenager. Hopefully not that common, but certainly not too amazing.
I’ve certainly seen that from both sides, albeit only in small ways, luckily. Do we want to call that manipulative? Is passive-aggressiveness manipulative? I guess I would start calling the utterance or what-have-you manipulative earlier then many, but the person who made it later. It’s a bit like the difference between calling something someone said racist, versus calling the person racist. To me, there is a real difference there. But I know it often feels like the same thing to many.
