Then one guy gets told to stop because thieves are insulted when you call them thieves and explain that everything in the world is not theirs for the taking.

By a moderator no less. Impressive.

What's going on is these people are making up reasons why it's not their fault they have to steal, and when you put the truth in front of them it messes with their denial and they find it uncomfortable.

I have no problem with calling a thief a thief. I can live with discord. My problem with his post was that it looked to me that he was more interested in venting his spleen than in arguing why piracy was wrong.
