Look at these three quotes from Scotts original post.

Quote:
His bombings and such were of course Improper and Wrong,

Quote:
Though I Disapprove of his killing and all, -to any such end

Quote:
While Disapproving of the Wrongs he actually did, -Please Don't mistakenly find an "Admiration" in me for him there!


Why are we being so hard on Scott? I thought he made it clear that did not approve of these peoples' actions. If I understand correctly Scott wants us to be intellectually mature enough to look as this strictly from the prospective of EE and longterm wilderness survival. Why is that so hard to do? Maybe there are better examples of long term EE and/or survival situations. These were however highly pubicized and we are all familiar with them to some degree so why is it such a bad topic for discussion other than the fact that we don't seem to be intellectually mature enough to separate the survival from the actions that made it necessary.

Just a thought... maybe I am misreading things... anything is possible.
