You don't seem to understand the nature of discourse. Implicit in the
idea of stealing is that of rightful ownership. Just as you define what
is theft, you define what is legitimate. I don't think theft is right,
but I don't agree with your construction of what theft is. I do,
however, applaud your decision to leave the discussion.

people who steal always try to find a way to justify
it, or trivialize it by saying things like i didn't really hurt anyone
or cause a physical loss. the saddest part is that they
don't realize there just shooting themselves in the foot
when they steal. the "wound" just may not appear right away.
i've already made the points i've intended to.
if there lost on you or someone else, there's not much point in
continuing. so i'm going to politely bow out now.
