Fine if he claims this as a SUBjective definition...but from the first post it seems to me that he believes in objective evil!
Where's the evidence for THAT? (As with God lol).

This definition of evil covers humanity ONLY. My belief in an evil pressense or otherwise is beside the point. If you are saying do I think that there is a evil force working within evil people then no. People are bad enough without any Satan-like figure lending a hand. However, I do think evil exists. What is evil is defined in my definition in previous posts.
' Understandable but, IMO, too simplistic ... some people just need killing!'
I proscribe to Gandhi's philosophy 'There are many causes I am willing to die for, but none for which I am willing to kill for'. Perhaps the world would be better if some people died, but no single person or organisation can have access to enough facts or have the objectivity to decide who 'deserves' to die. For instance, under what circumstances would you consider killing a 'good' option?
