Oh how I wish I'd kept those PMs with Aimè.
What they boiled down to is that good and evil are not "real" (which, of course, begs the question of trying to define reality); they're merely social constructs. It comes down to a matter of perspective.
It's not as though you can spot evil and yell to your companions "Look, look! There it is, over by that tree. Careful, don't touch it... it's evil!"
Besides, one person's evil is another person's "Hey, that's a really good idea. Sounds fun, let's try it."
Since you can't even define good and evil or pin them down, how can you claim that they come in absolutes? Everyone and everything's got a redeeming quality. Even Morgoth; remember snow? And any cynic can tell you that good isn't all that good.
