I am not sure using a term such as "combative" is going to be effective in
bringing about the change you desire.   First the term has strong negative
connotation,  and second it is non specific. The people you view as
combative probably don't see themselves as combative and don't what
specifically is causing you to perceive them as such, and thus don't know
what to do differently.
