Saying you wouldn't pay is one thing. Saying that those paying a ransom in an attempt to save their loved one's life are no different than the kidnappers is another thing entirely, CL. You have to at least acknowledge that.
I see what you are referring to, but I really don't think he meant that literally you are as bad of a person as the kidnappers/terrorists. It seemed like he was speaking in the context of it being as bad of a move, in general, because it enables the bad guys to keep doing this to other people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
