Addendum to my post #34 above:

I have no doubt that if he wants to feature homes — or gardens — or whatever in his future videos and asks permission from homeowners, he would get it — maybe 50% (or more) of the time.

In fact, if he gets into a general asking for volunteer homeowners, he would probably get enough to make a regular “feature” with everybody happy — no lines crossed— and I do not mean property lines. I mean the lines of behavior with others.

Some people like to show their homes. For example, every city has home shows with people actually opening their homes to the ticketed public, usually as a fundraiser for a community project — mostly in historic neighborhoods where their homes are truly a labor of love they want to share. Do I ever go to them? Yes. But that’s different. Those are by invitation. (They always have booties at the door, and I politely put them on, of course.)

And do I ever drive by to gawk at especially beautiful homes or landscapes? Of course.

But that’s different. I am not recording, commenting, and slapping it up on the internet.

This guy could be onto a popular feature for his videos — but I call bs on any uninvited drive-by version.

And soooooo — if he wants to do this, he needs to do it with just plain, old-fashioned manners, politely asking first. He would get people who would love to have their homes featured.

(And for those who keep on keeping on — please pay attention — for the 1000th time, I said if he asked permission, I apologize for my assumption.)

Well, enough of this trying to explain nuance and manners to those posters here who insist on interpreting things only as either/or — with ‘em or agin ‘em — always looking for somebody to gang up on. Geez. The Mean Streets of TOTV are full of the usual traffic this morning. . .

So much predictable posting — often displaying a textbook projection of their own consistent behavior as posters — always looking for a reason to jump all over somebody — while dragging along their own history of only such types of posts.

And all too typical of TOTV these days. . .“Ah, look at all the ‘angry’ people. Where do they all come from?”
