Now this has been interesting reading. I was screaming to say some of what you all said.
Like BK...I was thinking that people shoud be evaluated on an individual basis...like are they friendly, keep up their house...etc.... and then I got to thinking...you know we like to put labels on people...that is just so sad...eventhough I have not met many of you...I think you would label me "a conservative" after all I am from the midwest
but that does not mean that I would object to Salvador(sp?). I haven't even met Salvitor (sp?).
Also Thistruck seems to have taken quite a lashing for his comments. Hope he/she has not been terribly offended. I have moved often and have found that some people are friendly...they just don't want to be your friend or at least not right now. This occurs because they already have their friends, their life is set, or they are just too busy. That does not mean anything bad about you, but it may mean you have to pursue friendship more. This occurs everywhere not just in TV. I am afraid I have been that person at times.
Also, we have visited TV and I would not expect people to open their lives to us knowing that we would be coming and going. That takes an emotional and time investment and who knows...we could be some sort of internet stalkers or some other kind of weirdo. That is a reflection of the world we live in. best to be a bit cautious.
I guess my take on it is...I hope I am not one who "judges" people by labels or at
all for that matter and eventhough TV is near perfect...nothing is perfect this side of heaven.
