I didn't say that. Stealing $4k is bad, but I can't say I hate the guy for it. It's not like he ran into the store with a machine gun and murdered the clerk to get the cash in the register. Also the suit anecdote could have been made up anyways.

is murder the only bad thing in your mind?

can things be bad without being the worst possible thing?

what i'm hearing: its bad but it's not bad because there are worse things that are bad and also I'm "looking the other way"

whether or not it was made up was irrelevant to your initial claim. the proposition is identical in either case.
