1337BenderBoss - Thanks for your feedback. Your article on bloodbending is interesting, and because it's related I'll respond to a few points below...

First: with regard to WST being a water-bender: Are spirit beings benders? When WST is attacking team Avatar, Katara begins to take a stand against him, and he says, ed"" "Your waterbending won't do you much good here. I've studied Northern Water Style, Southern Water Style, even Foggy Swamp Style." In our mind, this doesn't prove that WST is a water bender, but rather in harmony with our theory, that WST has infinite knowledge of all styles, which enables him to resist blood bending. :-) Second: with regard to your blog article - it is very interesting. I think that Yakone and Tarrlok's ability to blood bend without the moon may be related to the simple fact of the evolution of benders. (Sokka infers this in LOK ep.9) By LOK there are multiple metal benders, where only Toph was able in ATLA. Also, Mako is able to shoot lightening, which was a technique only Ozai and Azula could do previously.  This is actually compatible with your blog post, in that the issue in view is each individual's chi. (Bender or non-bender alike). We'd like to hold on to our WST theory for now, but if it turns out not to be the case, Amon very well may simply be a regular man who has become more able to focus his chi than anyone before...
