"Say that B is a bully - big, loud, self-righteous. Say also that B has done something bad to V, his (or her) usual victim. V is afraid to protest, but his distress shows in his body language, etc. B knows he's been a jerk, but doesn't want to admit it. He observes V's behavior, and it irritates him. So he sneers at V for being passive-aggressive. Therefore, it's all V's fault once again" Leenia, I don't think V is being passive-aggressive. There's nothing aggressive about the body language of 'distress'. Now......if V ended up silently changing B's song titles into links....that might be a different story.
