Ilango stranger Registered: 03/12/08 Posts: 10	Is there any word for a person who always blames others even if others are not wrong. Edited by Ilango (04/25/12 11:38 PM)

I would reject all these since blaming others is not a necessary part of any of these. They may be true about the person in question but they do not define them.

Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13653	Even in its metaphorical sense it can be kind of tricky finding its antonym. Would it be someone who takes the blame deservedly? Someone who doesn't take the blame when it is deserved?
