Go right ahead, as far as I'm concerned EVERYTHING is up for debate 😉 .
That is all too true...

I'm not denying that I'm just pointing out that no matter how "good" someone is, there's pretty much ALWAYS some level of evil present in the form of sadism. How many people can you think of who have NEVER taken any kind of delight in seeing someone else suffer in some way, shape, or form? I can all but guarantee the answer is 0, because that's the nature of man. Society sets laws to curb the selfishness inherent in the nature of humanity, but without those laws a LARGE portion of that goodwill would go right out the window(see the story "Lord of the Flies" for examples).
Well it is true that we want for ourselves because we do wish to survive. But there is a fact that no matter how "evil" someone is, they generally have some since of honor, or love for someone or something. We are not polar opposite and Clark Kents. We have a capacity for good and evil.
If you go to a prison with hardened criminals, you will see that even they have a code of honor. Murderer's, thieves, and the like will generally get along more. But the child molesters, rapists, women beaters (mom beaters) etc, generally will get attacked very early there. That is because although alot of those people are "bad", they still have a level of good in them. Which goes to my example. If someone was kicking a child or an old lady in the street how many could sit by and watch it?
Not many people can stomach watching brutal violence of other people, that is because something inside of us is turning.
Why do we generaly let our women get away with more things and want to protect them in many instances as guys if there were no sense of compassion within us?
I'm not saying that we don't have a capacity for evil, I'm saying people were made with both.

I agree with you on that first part(the part about no one being 100% good OR evil), but I still see Punisher's actions as being evil because his primary goal is making the bad guys PAY. I mean yes he wants the streets safe, and yes he wants to make sure that no one else's family suffers the same fate as his own, but his primary dedication is making sure that the bad guys get what's coming to them. It would be different if he were remorseful because that would be some indication that he wasn't actually deriving enjoyment from his actions, but the fact that his style of crimefighting is actually his PREFERENCE makes his actions undoubtedly evil. I'm not saying that he's someone who's more evil than good, just that he IS evil(as are his actions). Society determines what constitutes a criminal, but humanity determines what constitutes evil. And as diverse as humanity is, when you remove all the details and loopholes that confuse the issue everyone can agree that taking pleasure in the misfortune of others is wrong.
Well it's always about the intent. If I told you some men took a girl out of her home, drugged her, and cut her up, you would generally think something negative associated with that. However if I said it doctors trying to remove a burst appendix, you would change your mind.
I think we all "make people pay" in our own ways, whether it's passive aggressive or very brutal. But his intent in the end is still good.
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, was brutal and is archaic, but it wasn't to be evil. It's just an old fashioned way of justice. We all have situations where we want to utilize that. (ex. If someone hits you, hit them back.)
