Know your audience...if you want to fish with people with beliefs contrary to your own, and you value their company, just make sure you can convey your message and still maintain the relationship (if you want to). Otherwise, I'd choose to fish with someone else or keep my yap shut.

I usually fish alone anyway, and in rivers where killing nates isn't an option, so it's a no-brainer for everyone (that has one, anyway).

On the topic of retying on the king, I think getting that cr@p out of his mouth provided him a much better chance of survival than leaving it there under a well-intentioned guise of minimizing harrassment.
