There are a few things I love about the fact that people comment.
- It gives me additional perspective on the topic
- It fosters conversation (since commentators comment on each other).
(It's like I'm writing the Mishna and commenters are rounding it out with Gemara, etc. (With a fair recognition of humility that my Blog doesn't even come close to the Mishna on any level...except for having more pictures-I beat the Mishna hands down, but I digress).
So, based on the feedback from the previous post, I've reconsidered our approach.
I think I will tell people who is coming and ask them if they feel comfortable with it. To simplify, in my mind, I will have an "anchor" guest. This is the family is the center of the invite. If another family vetoes them, I will reschedule the non-anchor family.
I also like the idea of a feedback loop. I don't know if people will feel comfortable saying "I'd rather not dine with so and so again," but I'll give them the opportunity.
The question is: how to ask and encourage people to answer honestly?
