Joshua,
my view is there is no negative stakeholder (or evil person).
The person might be perceived in specific situations a exhibiting a negative attitude or even hostile behavior. But I try not to generalize or label others and look for positive sides in them. These are common ground to establish a relationship based on mutual trust and mutual purpose.
