When you can find where I said everything he did was "ok" this question may have merit.

The man was wrong. He was not evil- at least by my definition.

It's a matter of degree. If those bad things they do are truly evil, then it might. Helms was a truly evil man - evil in his words and deeds. No amount of incidental good deeds are going to change that.

And if you can not see that what he stood for is wrong, then I feel very sorry for you.
