skulk
editSince skulking has a somewhat technical meaning in ornithology, this word could have its own page. BbGideon (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't Merge Resentment and Spite
editThese are similar emotions, but they have different causes and different effects: We can harm a stranger in some petty way out of *spite*, but *rensentment* requires a specific wrong or injustice.71.101.56.18 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC).
- I've never heard spite defined as you put it here (nor as the article describes it), it's always used as a synonym for resentment. If this is incorrect it ought to be noted that it's a common misconception. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.130.241 (talk) 06:21, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Spite in Notes From Underground
editI don't understand how my contribution was not helpful to the article. It seems maybe you felt the same way, since now it looks like you've undone your reversion? I feel as if my paragraph is endlessly more valuable than this sentence, in the article for "Spite (Sentiment)"
"'Skulk' is a fanciful or literary name for a group of foxes [3]"
That statement has almost no usefulness in this article. Whereas I mentioned a major usage of the concept of spite in human history. No? Chicopac (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Skulk/Spite - Unrelated pages spliced together??
editWhat is the relationship between spite and skulking? I don't see any connection or reason why they are on a page together, or why skulking redirects here. Skulking is sneaking around, spite is a desire for petty retaliation driven by envy. It looks as though someone inadvertently spliced two unrelated pages together. 216.36.188.184 (talk) 04:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. The two words have absolutely no relation. 65.31.103.28 (talk) 04:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Thirded. The words aren't related. Somebody unsplice them, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.108.211.151 (talk) 09:51, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Fourthed. It is now October 2013. Unsplice please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.222.213 (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
