Subject: RE: BS: Animus vs empathy
Wow, toadfrog, you're so outa my league on that one I wouldn't even know where to begin!

Yeh, Amos, I was only surmising my way into a thicket, and I'm all confused now... Animus was defined for me in it's 'negative' sense and I got my poetic license out of my wallet and charged it...
