"public attention getting stunts"
I wonder if we could include the Ruby Ridge siege in that category?

"theater on the grand scale"
I see a little bit of neoprene ethics sliding in there. Ecoterrorism is still terrorism. And I abhor all violent action, regardless of the cause. If someone can't make his point using due process in a society that honors free speech, maybe that person needs to sit down and chill.
"ramming a boat with no violent intent" Oxymoron. Big one.
How do you stop a whale hunt in progress? No legal, proper way I can think of. You have to go criminal if that's your aim. What I'd do is set my sights on futur whale hunts - and use the system to make my point. The moment I plan an act of sabotage - by my standards I've already lost.
Consider for a second how I passionately plead the right to keep and bear arms. What form of "freedom fighting" on my part would you accept as theater or as a legitimate means of engaging public attention?
