I'm not sure that David thinks that the initiation of force is bad.

He might not think it's bad in the sense that he has confined himself to an ideology that assumes/knows it's bad; but I think we'd be hard pressed to find a Sklansky thread where he conluded that the initiation of force was good.

I think he's stated before that, for example, the starving can steal bread (which I agree with), but I'm not sure he's taken it any further than that. I.e., that just because it's "ok" in some sense to steal bread when you are starving does not mean that you don't owe the owner compensation later (unless he forgives you the debt, which he almost certainly would, but that's beside the point).
There really is a lot to libertarian ethical theory that never even gets discussed around here, even with all of our wrangling.
