Hey, why not REALLY throw a wrench into the ethics discussion:

Is Domination evil if: The person dominated is a psychopath, who gets perverse pleasure out of torture, but who actually is tortured himself if he ever does something nice for someone. Then the person is dominated and FORCED to do NICE things for people he hates, which is the worst form of torture imaginable for him. Does it matter if the INTENT is to torture or if it is just an INTENT to make him do restitution?

Keep in mind there's a difference between being evil and good.

I believe that's one aspect of Neutrality; doing evil things for good purposes (that are not done selfishly). If the intent is to make restitution, then while the act itself is evil, the results are good. All things being equal, this essentially negates to neutrality.

Intent does matter, but some acts, to my mind, can only rise to a certain level of morality (or for that matter, fall to a certain level on occasion).

On the other hand, doing it for torture is doing an evil thing for an evil purpose.
