Tom Firey talks about "feariness", which he defines as: "The quality of being feared, even though logic and/or evidence indicates there is little to fear." As I've informed him, the proper term is in fact threatiness, which was coined by yours truly back in March. I've told the resident lawyer at Telic Thoughts about this, and he promised to look it over as soon as that darned ambulance stops.

Dawkania - Behavior motivated by overblown perceptions of rampant threatiness, marked by a tendency to confuse science and personal worldviews.
