: And for good reason. But let's look: the ghols have been
: hindering the growth of the Dwarves just as the
: Dwarves have been hindering the Ghols' way of life. So
: they both are justified... until they decided to
: take sides. The ghols chose to take the side of the
: Darkness (Balor, Soulblighter, etc.) which then
: objectively makes them wrong, since their side had
: only destructive missions.

Right, and Soulblighter, not sure about Balor, was definately a pyschopath.

: You're kind of employing a strawman's argument. Hitler
: was wrong. His was not an objective perspective. He
: grew up thinking that the Jew was a big culture of
: stealers and the Communists were also things to be
: exterminated. Historians and even you and I can look
: back and see who was right and who was wrong. Hitler
: was incorrect in his belief that the Jews and
: Communists were all evil. We are correct in our belief
: that he was evil. I'm not saying all Jews and
: Communists are saints. But Hitler didn't care. He just
: removed all of them, regardless if they were babies,
: women, or working family men.

Totally agreed. I think evil should be "destroyed" but I'm judging by actions. You do evil as an individiual, I come to kick your ass as an individual. Hitler's logic (if it can really be called such)was that of a pychopathic madman.

: I'm talking about objective analyses of good and evil.
: From what we know of the Myth storyline, we can
: objectively and correctly state that the Dark is evil,
: and all their allies and agents, from Thrall to ghols
: to the Leveler, are wrong in their assault.

I could play the Devil's advocate here, but I won't.

: When I said "you have every right to blast
: them" I wanted to convey the idea that you were
: justified to use violence to defend yourselves from
: them, or even attack them, since they started the
: whole mess, what with Balor razing your golden city
: and all.

: -Welly

Finally we've reached a debate level that I can enter without blasting off with lots of anger and little logic.
Evil is evil based on its deeds, not its motives. (although you can have evil motives, such as destroy all Jews the way Hitler did). There is a saying I want to say before I send this post; "The path to Hell is paved with good intentions." I'll leave that food for thought for you guys to feed on.
