All you're doing is highlighting the fact that "evil" is a subjective word and everybody applies it slightly differently. And I think that when we have a conversation like this thread has become, all we're really doing is taking a straw poll of other peoples' definitions to see the lay of the land.
So- you get that my definition of evil places actions on the same level as results- and I get that yours doesn't. I'm not sure that we can do anything but agree to disagree.

Well, yes. The point is to convince others that it is possible to agree to disagree on this issue. That's not always a given when one side sees the issue as a moral crusade.
