I had hoped that there would be more of a welcome of Andrew D. Blechman on TOTV. If you have an influential food critic visiting your restaurant would you not try and change his mind about the dishes your place serves?

I do not think I am overestimating Belchman's influence through his book Leisureville especially which judged by the kind of hatred his name evokes on TOTV.
Well, you go right ahead and invite him on your own dime. No one here in The Villages would contribute anything to pay any of his expenses. We do not need Bleechman here nor would most Villagers hear him speak except to shout him down as an illicit author who does not know his subject.
