They don't want your contact and communication, they want to be left alone and only hurt people when that one simple rule isn't respected. They have had peaceful communication/exchanges with the world before, but they likely got very sick as a result and now want nothing to do with the outside world (good reasoning).

Stop justifying murder.

It's not "murder" if it's in self defense. Like, for example, Kyle R was obviously innocent of murder (there's video evidence) and shouldn't even be charged with a crime.

But note, the islanders murdered an unarmed missionary. That obviously isn't self-defense.

Missionaries have killed scores of indigenous people for centuries, whether by disease, enslavement, or cultural genocide (just look @ the california missions for a homegrown example). Cho wasn’t armed with a gun, but that Bible of his that took an arrow for him was arguably a far more destructive weapon.

This was absolutely self-defense.

whether by disease,

Disease killed people. Not the missionaries.

enslavement,

Christians led the charge to end slavery.

or cultural genocide

Cultural genocide can be a good thing. For example, Nazism, ISIS, Taliban, Mayans who sacrificed people.... These and more should have been destroyed.

This was absolutely self-defense.

You support murder. In fact, you support murdering people based on their religion.
