It's another funny incongruence that you'll give such leeway to the guy who stole your bike/bought a stolen bike, but apparently think someone disrespecting you back after you disrespect them is somehow the original asshole.

lol sorry, where did I disrespect you? By saying you don’t need to be the asshole when you said sometimes you have to be the asshole? Or something else?

You have been entirely intractable about both the general negative points of choosing to believe in fairy tale outcomes of real world events as an adult.

The “negative outcomes” you’ve listed (not taking proper action after the theft, not being more vigilant about if/when it happens in the future, etc) are things that aren’t happening here, so now I’m confused again about what negative points you’re referring to. Whatever clarity you think you’ve brought to the argument is muddied again.
