You support Watson attempting to murder the whaling crews for violating the whaling ban.

That's just cheap hyperbole. Its sad that you don't really take any effort to understand the stakes involved Matt.

Those two paragraphs back to back are perfect.

No need for me to reply to that, you've covered it quite well.

Now having said that, let me say that I don't support commercial whaling, and I wish the Japanese would comply with the ban.

My SOLE objection is to the notion that murdering the whalers is in any way an acceptable act.

Moon proposed attempting to kill the whalers. You seem to agree with that approach.
