I'm with Lynch actually. It's not a good thing (for moral and Realpolitik reasons) but it's not teribble, it's not killing people. The comparison isn't just with the Trio but also with all the trespasses and wanton destruction of property the Scoobies have collaborated in throughout their evil fighting careers. Which we, the audience, condoned. Voll called Buffy a terrorist for blowing up Sunnydale and we thought he was a silly old general but he wasn't so wrong. I remember when the Trio's activities were confined to robbing banks and musems everybody thought they were a joke, a little light relief. Insurance premiums went up but Rusty lived. The actions that made Warren a Supervillian weren't the robberies but the attempting to roofie-rape Katrina and then kill her without remorse. It was Katrina's death that made Buffy go after him in Seeing Red, the robberies were more like Al Capone's tax evasions.
