Nonsense. There is universal agreement that a rather large category of "ways" are fobidden. I don't casually beat up small children in the mall. I do indeed want others to be commanded by some authority not to do that either. So there is _no_ contradiction between allowing x, y, & z and NOT allowing p,q, and r. There may be specific arguments about whether r belongs to the category of "ways" we forbid or not, but the charge of contradiction is a mindless kneejerk response.
