I don't completely understand the hostility towards members filing bankruptcy. Particularly when the main reasons for bankruptcy are injury or illness. I think it is an important safety net in our society. I also think as members we ought to be cautious passing judgment on those who are in dire straits.
My surmise is that this is an example of the familiar tendancy to take a correct principle (self-sufficiency) too far (judging those who rely on the aid of the collective). Like paying 15% tithing.
