SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't know if this is a serious question, but it should be!

Was Jean Valjean unethical for stealing food when he was starving?

Was it unethical for the Allies to steal German scientists and secret research?

What exactly is the definition of theft? If the government authorizes me to 'steal' from you is it no longer theft?

If someone steals my cow, and I steal their goat, is it theft or retribution?

I could go on...

I brought that up earlier.

Thief? or resistance fighter?
Thief? or recovering your own stolen goods/or equivalent?
Thief? or vigilante?

To the nuts here and elsewhere the answer is YES! because their definition of thief is "everything on earth"
