Is this a TOTV thread or a script for a sitcom? If the latter, it's going to be the new All in the Family, full of hilarity and insight at once.
In how many other threads has somebody said he/she is moving to TV or might come to TV or is interested in TV? And what reaction do they get from many of us?
Come on down! Live in my Village! I'll leave the lights on for you! Stop by my house! I'd love to have you for a neighbor!
And yes, it's true. We don't know the person we are inviting into our neighborhood, our home, our "circle". Sure, we might end up not liking that person or not being glad if he/she is a neighbor. Yet it would be a misperception to say we are insincere. We are expressing our "inner Villager," offering our kool aid, expressing our heart-felt desire that this person will be happy here and fit right in, as most Villagers seemingly do.
Many of us say all these things to new posters, not knowing their color or politics or religious beliefs or sexual orientation. Yet, we welcome Salvador in the same "It's-a-beautiful-day-in-the-Villages" kind of way (which it is), and suddenly, we're only doing it because he's gay?
Welcome to All in the Family, circa 2010.
