The poast suggested they be relocated to the moon, which is patently absurd and nobody with an ounce of common sense took it literally much less irrationally tried to re-interpret it to mean they should all be slaughtered. If they're dead why bother launching their rotting corpses onto the moon? That would be pointless and a waste of resources. If they're sent to the moon alive obviously they haven't been slaughtered.
See how silly your "logic" becomes under the merest shred of scrutiny when you're trying to 'gotcha' someone you don't care for? It's weird. Like, actually weird.
