In [13] there is a survey of several methods of proof that the Julia set of a rational or entire function is the closure of the repelling cycles, along with a discussion of which of those methods can and cannot be extended to the case of semigroups. In particular that paper presents an elementary proof based on the ideas of [11] that the Julia set of either a non-elementary rational or entire semigroup is the closure of the set of repelling fixed points. This paper serves as a brief follow up to [13] by showing that the ideas of [3] can also be used to provide an elementary proof for the semigroup case. It also touches upon some key differences between the dynamics of iteration and the dynamics of semigroups.
