Yeah, "evil" isn't a word I use for people, pretty much ever. I mainly use it for actions, I guess, and even then, I'm more likely to use some other word, like "cruel." If 98 percent of a person's actions are cruel, selfish, etc., then--wow, that's too bad. But I still don't use the term "evil," as it happens. Just, I guess, because it's a pretty grandiose term? I do use the word sometimes, though.
