What dictionary is that from?

OED (http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/93523?redirectedFrom=incite#eid)

says:

 a. trans. To urge or spur on; to stir up, animate, instigate, stimulate. Const. to do something; to or unto some action.


ie _any_ action, not just negative ones. None of the OED definitions
give negative connotations.
