Snark Attack
Without getting too meta...I'm talking to LT yesterday about the overabundance of snarkiness in the media. He goes and does up a Dashboard post mentioning that phone conversation and a new article on the same subject. So now I'm linking to his post about our previous conversation.
There will be a test later. We also debated the difference between snarkiness and passive aggressiveness. I thought they were close to the same thing, he disagreed, saying snarkiness was more overtly aggressive. Now discuss.
BTW, LT, so much for off the record phone conversations. Maybe I'll post something on your....oh wait. ;)

This is a bit new to me – "snarkiness" that is. But please see if I understand it correctly….
LT demonstrated “snarky” behavior by posting information about an otherwise private conversation he had with you on his public blog.
You, on the other hand, have demonstrated “passive aggressiveness” by politely lifting a bit of his blog info on the demise of Blockbuster and posting it on your blog and successfully securing responses to your posting while his original post on the subject simply sits there on his blog gathering dust.
Would this be correct?
Touche! ;)
