Passive vs active - the verb "to goader"

On Goader's blog, Vinegartits makes this comment.

>My computer has been down for a week, so the last thing I read about Goader’s crucifixion by Ms. Elia et al was a comment on “The Wall” in which somebody said he or she didn’t want the administration to be [sic] “goader” him or her.

The person who leaves behind his history is the one who can act so as to become a verb. This is Goader’s unique achievement: he has ascended to the status of transitive-active verb: the strongest in the verb family.<

Here are the quotes on The Wall. http://call-in-6.blogspot.com/2009/04/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go.html

Believe me: No one needs to get "goadered".

Thomas Vaughan said...
....Goader chose to let them intimidate him into silence. You can only be "Goadered" if you assuage them.


Vinegartits, a good test for passive voice is to see if you can slip a "by" in there.

No one needs to get "goadered" [by administration].
You can only be "Goadered" [by them] if you assuage them.

The verb "to goader" was used only passively, I'm afraid.

Thomas Vaughan, you really do have a way with people, don't you? As Goader wrote, keep repeating your rot and it might come true (even if it is only in your mind). And be honest; Lee has vinegartitted you, hasn't she?
