[Desdemona]

Some of these examples may qualify as evil, but a lot of them are simply morally wrong. To classify relatively trival moral lapses like being an online troll as “evil” diminishes and trivalizes what true evil is.

And the difference is....? Immorality is evil in all of its decadence. It's all about following Satan's siren call.

[Hugin]

And the difference is....?

If you can’t see the difference between being a relatively harmless selfish jerk and being a monster who destroys peoples lives you have no wisdom or judgement. Again, to lump them all as “evil” trivalizes true evil, and actually helps it to continue. Most people have some small moral lapses during their lives. If people call them all “evil” they are less likely to be outraged by true evil.

And the difference is....?

Everything in the world is not black and white. There are degrees of evilness and immorality. Spitting on the sidewalk is not the same as spitting in one's face which in turn is not as evil as bashing in one's face.

Liberals have played on the apparent failure of many to differentiate these levels of evil for years. So, when a sidewalk spitter tries to criticize the face basher, they start condemning the crimes of the sidewalk spitter.
