That's you in a nutshell, Cosh.
Triangulating a controversial topic to come up with a point we find, at best, only intriguing.

Perhaps, but what you're going to get is extra animal cruelty, apparently. If that's only "intriguing," then I wonder why you're an opponent of the seal hunt in the first place.

Hmm, strangely reminiscent of politicians who wanted to leave Saddam in power and the sanctions regime in place so Iraq wouldn't suffer as it has since we invaded.
