Paltego is I think going with the definition that I use myself, which is a person who derives erotic pleasure from the infliction of pain. But some people seem to think it’s merely a synonym for cruelty, and slap a “sadist!” label on anyone who treats others badly.

Whether or not all good sadists have a touch of mad scientist in them (which I am inclined to agree with) I think it’s clear the obverse is not necessarily true. A proper mad scientist must, I think, be capable of indifference or at least detachment from the pain and suffering of his experimental subjects if he does not actively enjoy it, but I’m thinking you could be a proper mad scientist without necessarily getting an erotic charge out of it. Which is not to say that sadism and mad science don’t often arrive in the same package!

Or her. A Mr. Hyde lurking inside every Dr. Jekyll. A demonic urge inside the benevolent Victor Frankenstein.

I spend a lot of time working this out. I’m still not there yet.
