[Avodah] Justifying hatred

He equally clearly states in the Mishnah Berurah which the Biur Halacha
comes to supplement that, in principle, one should not get into fights
because one acquires the attribute of "azuth," which is a very bad midah
and once acquired, even for use in the service of HKBH, is liable to be
used in other areas. Even though "apikorsim hamithkomemim al hatorah"
justify the fight, azuth remains a midah to be avoided.

It seems to me that azuth in this context refers to the nastiness that
seems to typify far too much frum discourse and most especially this
thread.
