Aneas has asked Sageous why he is angry with him, Sageous answered that he is not angry, but keep in mind that for someone who has been abused one is more likely to perceive anger even when it is not there, and the Internet is not good at showing emotion, so those of us who are prone to do so, are likely to assume worse than there actually is.
