I wouldn't call it passive-aggressive. If anything, the case Vyse is presenting is that using of the future tense is a means to imply that they are open and willing to have whatever action they're doing be interrupted for the sake of RP. Sort of an active "walk-ups okay" marker.

Sure, they could just as easily say they are pulling out a book or have pulled out a book just as easily - but the person is implying "Hey, you can stop me before I pull out this book if you'd like - come RP with me!" That's how I'm reading the argument, anyway, and it's not such a bad thing.
