Joined TTA forum in October, now responsible for 2% of the neck on that site. Got lots of neck.

So if I say, I am evil, you are good - I'm talking to my Gwynnies, and the seven billion "you" between us.
What is evil? Origin. Point-object truth. Local entropic minima. Knowing the capability of the self for infamy, and minimizing probability. To be known as evil is to consider the passing of evil from the world with my passing.
I could go on... but it is just a word and a concept.
