I think it does an anti-violence message pretty well and not very preachy. I like the different perspectives idea. What looks like an unprovoked attack to 1 group, the other sees as self defense.
I understand what you are saying but that's not really the way I saw it. I thought they were uncharacteristically accepting of a heinous and basically unprovoked attack on the base. I do agree with Kirk not killing the Gorm, but the reason he gave just didn't feel right to me. I would have been better accepting if he just said he didn't feel like killing him was necessary at that point without the justification he used.
Also one of my long time favorites. I loved the way he told Kirk he was growing weary of the chase and if Kirk came to him he 'd be swift and merciful in killing him!

But the Gorn saw the base as an invasion of their territory.. That the Federation was unaware they were invading someone else's planet doesn't mean much to them. I think point was they both would have been better off communicating, but instead jumped to violence. In defense of the Federation, it does look like an unprovoked attack.
