Default logic , morality, and poker

How many of you believe that cheating at poker is just accelerating the losses of bad players or taking money from fools and is therefore acceptable ?

My position:
I am not a moral relativist. For example, I have no doubt that Hitler was evil. I think that it would have been better if he had been set on fire and then shot instead of the other way around. I don't feel any sympathy for common criminals either and I feel that poker cheats are just plain old thieves who probably think they are something else.

This has crossed my mind

I remember seeing a thread where some guy was planning to create a bot, and asked advice here on 2+2, and the responses were along the lines of "DIE YOU [censored]"

It's concievable that a person might view this as a spectrum, with playing clean on the one end, stealing on the other, and bots and cheating in the middle

edit: let me say that playing clean is near the one end
