this is the most dishonest thread i've ever seen

This brings us to our community and its ways of dealing with theft. I’m sure, most of you have already seen the thread created by a victim of theft a few days ago. It was closed by staff members immediately with the reasoning that it would bring hate upon the person who stole the money. On top of that, the thief suffered no punishment for his despicable actions at all.

You didn't seem to disagree with it then.
I saw the thread. You're wrong. It wasn't closed to save iTemp's face, but because it had no business existing there. It read like a user report. This thread is basically the same anyway.
No punishment? Again, false. The situation is still being investigated:

Punishments come after the verdict.

Settle down and get off your high horse, bucko.

- Why does our community tolerate theft, when everywhere in the world it is considered a crime?
- Do you agree that thieves’ actions should not be exposed, because it may bring hate upon them?
- Do you agree that thieves' actions should not be discussed, because it may be offensive to them?
- Do you agree that people should get banned for things like slurs and toxicity(not to bring up my experiences, where I was getting banned on suspicion of striking a fair deal) but not for blatant theft?
Welcome to the dishonest questions olympics 2020. This year promises to be a good one as Diamond from the US throws out 4 bangers.
I'll throw my hat in the ring: (Yes or No question) Are you aware that your entire post mischaracterises relevant situations, virtue signals by saying 'theft bad', and poses loaded (we're talking Jeff Bezos loaded) questions?

Saying it doesn't make it so. I do not believe that this thread was made in good faith to discuss theft, but to rag on staff for their handling of the deoxer v. iTemp complaint.
I think you have a hate boner for staff.

Would like to add how you were all "innocent until proven guilty" on your own thread, but here you've just assumed iTemp to be guilty given the same level of testimony.
