About the level of contribution I'd expect from you. Well done, you didn't let me down.

Yes. Yes it is. It may not be as simple as we all think.

Maybe I'm thinking of real evil as requiring a high level of sadism. But then again, evil is not synonymous with cruelty, so I'm not sure how I'd say what evil is to me.
Like I said, I rarely use the word about anything real-world applicable. I guess I think of "evil" as more of a cackling movie villain thing, as well as a thing that's often closely tied to religious descriptions of the world.

Thanks for taking this seriously.
I've plenty to say about this, but hell, if nobody else is going to take it seriously I'm not bothering. I guess I'll see who, if anyone, actually tries to have a conversation/debate here instead of just making stupid jokes, as seems to be the norm. Why did I even bother to stay, I ask myself?
