I agree with what you're saying - a problem with manipulative behavior is we're not always we're aware that we're doing it. There are often examples within families, adult children being made to feel guilty by parents (for example) Thanks for the feedback.

Good job. As for passive aggression, I would say that we are hurting not only other but, ourselves. By not being direct people may or may not know what is really bothering us. If they do they may resent trying to be manipulated. I believe we have all been guilty at some point of trying to manipulate. Yet, I hope we all can learn from our past that it may not be the best answer. I would suggest learning to influence people in a positive way. Like Dale Carnegie said in How to Win Friends & Influence People "The only way we get others to do anything, is to get them to want to do it." Your site looks great! Good job.
