Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be a part of the floccinaucinihilipilification of complex word use, but I do think that when publishing a question, you should use a clear vocabulary that won't be affected too much by the readers' varying interpretations.

So the origins of animus:
I discovered the word a couple of years ago and found it to be interesting. I love knowledge and thought other IINers might like to know it too.
Nothing to do with superiority.

Okay, but animus isn't as specific as hate, so I still think you should've used a different choice of words.

Fair enough.
In retrospect using "Ideas" "Hate" might have been better instead of Ethos and Animus. And I agree that if something can be said simply, it should be.
