Nanoha knew next to nothing about Fate in season 1. She wanted to find out because she had "sad eyes", and otherwise knew nothing about her or how potentially good or bad she was. In her desire to find out about Fate and help her, she made reckless actions and went against direct orders from Lindy and Chrono, such as aiding Fate during the storm Fate conjured. Her idealism paid off in the end, but she had very little logic behind wanting to help her in the first place. It was the same with Vita and the Wolkenritter--she wanted to know what they want, willing to talk it out with them despite the fact that all she knew about them was that they're trying to fill a book whose main course of action was "destroy the entire planet", and whom one among them nearly murdered her before in cold blood.
Thoma at least has the excuse of wanting to help the Eclipse infectees like the Huckebein and the Grendels because he knows what they've gone through, having been infected by the same virus they have, having been through the same emotional troubles they have. He understands how their situation has changed them, and hey--he's not exactly clean himself. Thoma's got blood on his hands as well, since when he was first infected--when he blasted that base to save Lily, he ended up killing people as well, and hey! You don't see him showing too much remorse about that, do you?
Fact of the matter is, Thoma is very, very similar to Nanoha in her younger years, and has the added benefit of having a better excuse for his idealism. And people rage against his actions when they didn't have a damn problem with Nanoha doing the same damn thing in seasons 1 and 2. So don't get mad at me when I call them out on the hypocrisy of it.
