Even after your apology, I still must urge to really keeping these emotions OOC, whether you're ICly talking to a knight, mage, or a flat-out thief-- your character doesn't know their biz, and depending on your character's qualities, could be inclined to talk with them in a friendly manner. The only time when your character would know a thief would be if they're being obvious, or sketchy. Generally that's enough for your character to know to back off, or depending on motifs, speak up.
As important it is to...erm...let's say avoid the tell-tale signs of a RP trap (which could mean different things to different people, as we all have our pet peeves in RP), OP you came out pretty strong hitting the Thief community. While I've not been able to RP (or play at all -.-; ) with the influx of new players, it's not common to come across the disrespect and god modding that could be possible. That said I've not come across it in 1.0 or in the Beta yet, and I don't forsee coming across it to much in ARR. When it happens, I'll give them a friendly suggestion and walk it off.
But to alienate all Thieves like that? That's some strong stuff. Don't bring it in game. Your character should have his or her own reasons for liking/disliking those types of characters. But be careful, as the more a character persecutes an archetype or a set of other characters, and especially on a an original post like that, people are going to wonder if it's IC anymore and more OOC.
 I completely agree with consistency, but you won't know it until you actually RP with someone. I dunno anything about this Locke comparison stuff, but it is what it is. People are weird. I've heard one player say he wants to look like Sephiroth but have the personality of Cloud. Do you know how much Emo-locity that is? The level of emo would be too dayum high!
And I dunno why we're going into so much philosophical detail about thieves-- it's yet another role to play. Of course it's not morally right in RL, we all know this. But as it's been said, there's different types and how they go about it. But even if there's a character who steals for his own gain, it could still be interesting RP!
How is it that the murderous Warriors types that people are playing don't get half this much scrutiny from people? -.-;
I say, as long as the person makes their character interesting IC, then stick with them. If you don't care for it, you can choose to not RP with them again.
