Very good depiction of a common dilemma. But, having been in Gordo’s position many times I have a different spin on this scenario. Should we invite someone to a place or activity we know or should know they abhor? This is similar to my wife asking me to watch a movie on the Lifetime channel. I want to reply, “only if I first get a lobotomy and buy some popcorn “. However politenesses dictates a gentle “no thanks”. The question is whether her invitation and the invitation to “bead” were not provocative.
