We should be careful not to fall into the trap of assuming that everybody who
does great evil is possessed by a powerful evil spirit.  Lynch loves to show
bizarre and outrageous evil, but he's not one to absolve evil humans of their
own tendencies by claiming they are somehow victims.  There are a LOT of 
evildoers in Twin Peaks (Leo, Jean, the early Ben, Hank) but BOB is not a 
factor for any of them.  Similarly, Windom Earle went in search of great
evil for his own ends, like the Dugpas before him.  He is a contributor to
the Black Lodge, not a victim of it.
