dearest child anon,
sweet child, it may be hard to understand, but we are all trolls, it's in our very nature to delight in the discomfort of our compatriots...
we all wear masks, to disguise ourselves, to ourselves, so that the pain inflicted will not splash back upon us, staining our fragile egos...
it's ok, the revelations will be painful, and will even elicit much denial, grief, and anguish, but the only way to truly deal with the pain is to face it head on...
grow, child, grow into the wonder that you already are, a vibrant, charismatic, and very subtle troll, disguised as a human being...
and fear not those who will tell you otherwise, they know too, what they are, and how they act, and the extent of the damage they do...

let us pray...

This'd be somewhere between your Floor 1 and Floor 2.

No i don't believe what i said was abusive, its you who stated it was abusive, not me. You
can't expect people to believe your propaganda, surely you don't even believe it? I certainly
don't.

You rarely apologise for your abusive behaviour and yes, calling me, another religious person like yourself, a "son of satan" was you trying to be abusive and insulting. But you are not apologising to me for being abusive or insulting, are you. There is a reason for you apologising though isn't there, what is it?

Based on this limited and once again, somewhat passive aggressive approach to categorising those here you don't like, I would say you are on floor 2.

8 Examples of passive aggressive behaviour

"Passive aggressive behaviour can be difficult to recognise at first. It is recognisable by the disconnect between what the person says and what they do. Passive aggressive people tend to express their negative feelings in an indirect manner, rather than state their disapproval directly to the person concerned. There tends to be a great deal of hostility associated with passive aggressive behaviour and a great deal of this tends to be derived from miscommunication, failure to communicate or the assumption that the other person knows what they are thinking or feeling. From a relationship perspective, passive aggressive behaviour can be the most difficult communication style to deal with as you are not quite sure what you are dealing with. There are many different ways in which passive aggressive behaviour can be expressed. The following list, though not exhaustive, covers some of the most common examples.

1. Resenting the demands of others

When others make requests or demands of them, passive aggressive people will often view them as unfair or unjust. Rather than express their feelings, they will bottle them up and resent the other person for making the demands. They quickly forget that they did not have to agree to the demand, or that they could have voiced their feelings at the time that the request was made.

2. Deliberate procrastination

Procrastination, the act of putting off that which needs to be done, is often a subconscious decision. With passive aggressive people, however, it is often a conscious decision. Rather than tell the other person that they cannot agree to their request, the passive aggressive person will delay completing the request until the very last moment, or later. This is aimed at punishing the other person for having the audacity to make the request.

3. Intentional mistakes

Again, rather than say ‘No’, passive aggressive people sometimes find it easier to deliberately perform poorly at a task. The hope is that they will not be asked again due to the substandard work.

4. Hostile attitude

As they often assume that others know how they feel, passive aggressive people tend to immediately assume that anything they do not approve of was an intended to be a jibe at them. For example, they may assume that their boss knows that they have a full workload. When he boss makes a request of them, they assume that the has something against them and wants to put excessive pressure on them. It never crosses their mind that they could point out to their boss that they have a full schedule and he would then ask somebody else to help.

5. Complaints of injustice and lack of appreciation

Everything is viewed as an attack on them. When something doesn’t go their way, it is seen as unfair or an injustice. It’s all about how the world impacts on them.

6. Disguising criticism with compliments

At first, passive aggressive people may seem pleasant and warm. They often appear to be complimentary. It is only after they have left that you realise that the compliment was actually disguising a cheap jibe.

7. The last punch

Passive aggressive people love to throw the last punch. So much so, that even when an argument has been reconciled, they slip one last insulting remark into the conversation. This remark is often more subtle than the ones which went before but it is still an insulting remark which allows them to feel victorious.

8. The silent treatment

As stated at the start, passive aggressive behaviour is recognisable by the disconnect between what is being said and what is being done. Nothing highlights this more than the famous silent treatment. Silence generally signifies agreement but not in this case. When you are on the receiving end of the silent treatment, you realise that the other person is far from agreeable. They have a big problem with you and just to allow themselves the Pyrrhic victory, they have no intention of telling you what that is.

There are 2 other common versions of the silent treatment. One is to answer the question ‘What’s wrong?’ with ‘nothing’, when there certainly is something wrong. The other, which sadly I used to use myself, is to answer any question with just one word. This is intended to signal that there is a problem, without you having to say it. I used to pride myself on the complexity of the questions which I could answer with just one word.

Having trouble with Passive Aggressive Behaviour? Check out our guide to Tackling Passive Aggressive Behaviour.

There are a number of communication styles. Many times we do not notice them until a dispute arises. It is then that we really see the style which people are most comfortable with. In many ways, passive aggressive behaviour can be the most difficult to deal with as it is not always immediately recognisable. Also, the passive aggressive person can be quite child like (I say this as someone who used this style) and demonstrate an unwillingness to resolve any dispute. It is important to the passive aggressive person that they have the upper hand and they will use some ridiculous tactics to achieve this. The 8 signs of passive aggressive behaviour, listed above, will help you see where you or somebody you know is behaving in a passive aggressive manner. This will allow you to adapt your approach in an attempt to resolve the issue." http://www.coachingpositiveperformance.com/8-examples-passive-aggressive-behaviour/

Having copy pasted all that stuff and presumably having read it, would you say that you exhibit passive aggressive behaviour on this web site?

I wouldn't say this is either a complete, nor perfectly accurate summation of your behaviour here, but does describe Grampy Bobby's posting style quite well. In fact it's probably the most honest and accurate responses from you to one of my posts for a long time.

I wouldn't want you to be put in the dungeon Grampy Bobby!

However you have been forum banned more times than I care to remember for your inappropriate behaviour. Do you think the number of times you have been banned is a direct correlation with which "floor" you should on in your model?
