from Wikipedia:
Paul Watson (born December 2, 1950) is the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and a significant figure in the environmental movement and animal rights movement. He was named by Time Magazine in 2000 as one of its Environmental Heroes of the 20th Century.[1]

In 1977, Watson was expelled from the Greenpeace’s board of directors by a vote of 11 to 1 (Watson himself cast the single vote against it). The group felt his strong, “front and center” personality and frequently voiced opposition to Greenpeace’s interpretation of “nonviolence” were too divisive. Watson subsequently left the group. The group has since labeled his actions at the time as those of a “mutineer” within their ranks. That same year, he founded his own group, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
Time magazine? Hero?
Ping ping ping.
Greenpeace kicked him out? BWAHAHA That pretty much sums it up.
