I see that my post was not understood as I meant it.
I was agreeing with everyone.
I was also pointing out that Matt has a problem, and as “as a community”, I asked whether or not we had an obligation to see if we can help.

It is anything but kind to protect one person based on personal feelings and subject so many others to – well – theft.
I was in no way saying we should protect Matt. Not at all. I don’t see his actions as theft, either. He’s an addict, and he borrows to feed his addiction with every intent to pay it back – but he can’t because he spends everything he gets faster than he gets it on the slots.
Personal feelings? Suggesting that we may look into how to get help for a member of CAP who is in deep do-do isn’t personal feelings. It’s humanity.
