Just sayin'. Just because he wasn't "good" doesn't mean he was therefore "bad".

Also there is no good or bad/evil, there is positive or negative outcomes from actions though.

Stopping Altmer from destroying Mundus by any and all means (except destroying Mundus)?

Positive outcome.

Back at Tiber's time (and in ESO), the Thalmor were different. They didn't want to destroy the world, they just wanted to unite all Mer. The 4th Era Thalmor are totally different. They have almost nothing in common with the 2nd Era Thalmor, so Tiber didn't exactly stop them from destroying Mundus. They are different, but only in method. You're right in that the early Thalmor wouldn't have the same goal of eradicating mankind that the current era Thalmor do, but they are still Altmer supremacists. Their goal is to force their culture on all races, not just to unite mer. One of their reports criticizes the Khajiit care-free lifestyle, and suggests implementing schools of Altmeri origin. They may not be as extreme as they are in the 4th Era, but they still work to make their culture the ONLY culture. I'll give you that they're not the same genocidal bunch we know from Skyrim, but claiming that "they just wanted to unite all Mer" is far from the truth.
