I believe far more in good, old-fashioned passive-aggression. Theoretically, anyway. Saying things without really saying them.

Something about him rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it. Like he's got some secrets up his sleeve. And what do we know about him, really? He's not from New York. And when I say New York, that's not a stand-in for the country. I wouldn't even easily trust someone from Georgia or Wyoming or Hawaii.
