I've gone ahead and deleted the blog.

As for the latter point, I'm really not sure how else I can say it that I haven't already. There's always going to be a hundred potential factors in a hundred different contexts that could disqualify a character that would otherwise be a Monster that's not necessarily in the form of a redeeming quality. Maybe the setting they're in is just too miserable to have a believable candidate. Maybe most of their crimes were offscreen. Maybe they're outclassed by other villains in heinousness (who may or may not be Monsters themselves). Maybe they lack moral agency, are insane to a point where it's mitigating, have no character; it's always dependent on the context and the actual factors. Do remember that "no redeeming qualities" will not always mean "Complete Monster."
