So I wonder if this definition of suing (transferring a patent to a third party who uses it defensively) is evil to you, how evil is Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, etc?

I never said Apple Oracle or Microsoft are not evil but they never did either. Google is hypocrite here claiming to do no evil while suing others through a partner.

So in your morality hypocrisy trumps everything. Being a tiny bit evil and advocating against being evil is worse to you than actually being extremely evil and saying nothing?

Being evil while proclaiming to not do evil is lying. What credibility would you grant to a company that does it. And this is just one occurance. Claiming to be open when withholding source code to latest android releases, stealing content from publishers like yelp to boost its own local pages. Giving preferential treatment to its own sites/products over others in search results... the list is endless.
