>>I keep seeing these word come up to decsribe a monitor.
>>They are both incorrect terms.
>>
>>Mean: full of or exhibiting malice; spiteful
>>
>>Vicious: morally corrupt; evil; depraved; having a extremely bad disposition
>>
>>Ok, I will admit some of us forum regulars might fit better under these discriptions but not a wild animal like our monitors.


I am with you on that. Though today, when I pushed one of my savs back from another so that she wouldn't steal all the food she bit the hemostats and rolled her eyes at mean. ANGRY, but not evil or spiteful. My old boss would have just said she was ASSERTIVE.
