Excuse me, DS, here's a definition from a medical dictionary:

"passive-aggressive behavior:apparently compliant behavior, with intrinsic obstructive or stubborn qualities, to cover deeply felt aggressive feelings that cannot be more directly expressed."

Not sure what you were thinking of, but posting on a public board requesting recommendations from strangers on behalf of another person isn't passive-aggressive at all. Quite the contrary.

Unless, of course, you know the OP and the PNM and you know that the OP *hates* the PNM and is trying to sabotage her recruitment. In that case, coming here and posting identifying information about the PNM and requesting assistance with recs knowing that it would possibly out the PNM and possibly affect her recruitment would be passive-aggressive!
