I certainly had no intention of attempting to put words in your mouth, but I believe the words you wrote have the implications that I highlighted.

I disagree that I am being dishonest. I stand by the fact that the money is stolen. Bank rescues are financed through the monetisation of government debt, this causes monetary debasement which directly confiscates purchasing power of those who hold the money, without their permission. This fits the definition of theft.
