While I have nothing for distaste for this, we have to remember that it's their home that they're talking about opening to the public for this-they've a right to decide just who that "public" actually is.....

True. Distasteful mindset, but you can say who is and isn't welcome in your own home.

I mean, I wouldn't welcome a TSA screener.

True enough, but for starters you can't tell what a person's status is by looking at them
Or in most cases religion, or what job they have.

And hopefully a yardsale is busy enough so you don't have the time to ask a lot of question about the people who are willing to take your crap off your hands.

It's not like you sit down for coffee or a BBQ...


On the otherhand, this person might think it's really smart to publicly vent his bigotry....but attaching the address to it....is that wise?

...and it might have been their idea of a joke...

Sadly everybody thinks he's a comedian....

(or a setup....)
