Chase, a fellow writer, was disrespected by James. Chase would complain, but all the mods would side with James.
Chase wasn't disrepected at all. Chase's sentence was deemed poorly written. The rule that fellow writers must be respected was never broken. The passive voice, however, is constantly maligned as a second rate gramamtical structure.
That said, it has to be admitted that the passive voice can be overused. By turkeys.
Seriously, though:
ps Is there a way to write a passive version of Jane went to the store?
Maybe.
The store was went to by Jane.
Almost. "was went" --> "was gone".
You've discovered the prepositional passive. The verb "to go" doesn't take an object, so you can't put what would usually be the object of the verb into the subject position. Normally, that would mean that there is no passive voice version of "to go". But prepositions do take objects, and it's sometimes (but not always) possible to use the object of the preposition rather than the object of the verb.
Out of context, it's impossible to tell whether a sentence as "The store was gone to by Jane," is acceptable, and even then it's debatable.
The textbook example for a prepositional passive is a man looking at the messed up sheets, and saying "This bed has been slept in."
(Maybe some sentences can only be active without major rewrites?)
Yes. A verb needs to be able to take an object to be put into the passive voice (with the possible exception of the prepositional passive).
Considering your posts in this thread, I'm not worried about your passive voice usage.
