For future reference, here are a few terms and their definitions that I have developed, which might be helpful in the future:

Abhidhammaphilia (the love of/attraction to the Abhidhamma)

Abhidhammaphobia (the fear of/aversion to the Abhidhamma)

Abhidhammapathy (the state of feeling neutral/indifferent toward the Abhidhamma)

Abhidhammaphilic (attracted to/loves the Abhidhamma)

Abhidhammaphobic (averse to/dislikes the Abhidhamma)

Abhidhammapathic (neutral toward/has no strong feelings either way toward the Abhidhamma)

Thanks,
