It's exactly what we're talking about. I quote, from YOU: there is a pile of computer-type equipment in one of our closets, and we're going to sell or toss some of the stuff we aren't using That's what we're talking about, because YOU brought it up. YOU suggested a difference between stealing your friends clothing, and off-loading some computer equipment you found in a closet. If YOU don't want to talk about it, YOU shouldn't bring it up. If YOU want to stop talking about it, YOU shouldn't pretend that it was someone else who brought it up. For what it's worth, even if you DO find some kind of obvious nefarious equipment such as the one in the article, you STILL can't do anything you like with it. Taking someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it is theft in many, many jurisdictions, even if it is something nefarious and they are up to no good. Take your passive-aggressive whining, put it away and grow up.
