I think it's interesting that "your mistake is in taking it personally" is somehow seen as an affront but "don't beat yourself up" is seen as commiserating. Theft is always a violation - if you let it be. Considering the post is titled "what a bummer" I did not judge the tenor of the conversation as one that makes "so sorry your bike got stolen" obligatory. Thing is, Steve usually throws snark my way so his response would likely have been the same. I just wish I knew why I got beat up for being acerbic when usually, it's someone else taking a swing at me.
