Perhaps an opinion offered by a Druid who has been washed in the blood of a tree would settle the ongoing argument about any possible harm done to that tree used to post that sign.

Jamin Time (did you actually mean ‘Jammin’ Time’? Because if so, right on, TIME TO JAM):

I don’t agree or care, but as a friend to logic I must note that the line is not at all arbitrary. Damaging living things in a way that is unavoidable in order for humans to live (building shelter, eating plants, etc.) is obviously easily distinguished from damaging living things for non-essential reasons like entertainment. I assume that is the line COMG intended to draw (although I don’t want to put words in his mouth).

This concept of damaging trees as offensive is about the dumbest thing ever. It is pretty obvious that humans must destroy aspects of nature to survive (e.g. eating plants, building shelter, drinking water, pooping, etc) just like all animals. What we do is just as much nature as what a salamander does.

You have drawn an arbitrary line of what is ok and not ok. That arbitrary declaration proves the logic is false.

…why am I wasting time on this?

Putting staples, nails, tacks, etc. into a tree will most definitely harm it in the long run. Bark protects the tree from rot, pests, etc. Puncturing the bark destroys this protection.
