Trespassing, breaking and entering, destruction of private property, willful endangerment, and similar acts by Greenpeace stopping individuals (or whaling/scientific fleets, companies, whoever) from the exercise of their legal rights is in fact forcing their views [moral or otherwise] on others.
With such actions, Greenpeace is no different from a pro-life Christian protester breaking into a women's clinic to deface it or simply walking in and causing a ruckus. Both are simply eschewing the system in favor of forcing others to curtail the free exercise of their rights. And I'm comfortable in opposing both.
