User blog comment:Magma MK-II/What makes a hero a villain?/@comment-3219846-20101120221458/@comment-1705775-20101120224919

I don't think the argument was over threat, rather over malice - villains do require some degree of malice to be considered one.. however not all malice is intentional (in fact many villains cause harm without meaning to do so). The real problem we face as a community is establishing our own version of the "Moral Horizon" - as in what actions will make someone become a villain rather than a hero.. and that is no easy task to achieve.
