I'm confused about whether you don't think hoarders aren't mentally ill?

Pretty obviously things wrong with them.

Hell, on that topic, don't help your landlord friend for free. They want to run a business they can pay for your labor.

Not when they are terminally ill, elderly and on a pension. Other people are allowed to have illnesses and conditions and one person with an illness is not an excuse to take advantage of the vulnerable.

At best it’s an explanation. It Doesn’t give them a pass with that behavior.

A pension.

And income from their rental properties.

Their business.

But, hey, they made a life out of exploiting renters, why not exploit their friends and family too before they kick it?

Nah, you're right.

Mentally ill people just need to stop being ill, lazy bastards!

Not... what?

Other people are allowed to have illnesses and conditions

Ok?

one person with an illness is not an excuse to take advantage of the vulnerable.

Then... stop letting them take advantage of you?

‘Letting them”

Manipulators are in the wrong. Stop shaming victims.

You changed your tune pretty fucking quick. What happened to his terminal illness being used as an excuse?
