Jim: Lord help you if you ever purchase a FLW fixer-upper. We'll expect to see you on the next house walk. ;)

Why is it that certain people on this message board tend to be so curmudgeonly? I'm pretty sure I woke up in America this morning, so I think people can do whatever they want when it comes to furnishing their house, FLW or otherwise. You may have a different opinion, but it's just that...an opinion.

Well, actually I'm an agnostic. Even if the Lord was gonna share the cost, I doubt I would ever be fortunate enough to own a Wright house. But I can assure you I would have no reason to be defensive about the interior fittings, regardless of my budget. I never said anyone who has taken on such a heroic effort need apologize for their choice of furnishings. And who cares what I think anyway?



rgrant started this!! I just agreed. :|

Why is it that some people on this board tend to be so judgemental? "...America...?" This has come to be about the cherished "right to have unsympathetic sensibilities"?. I now realize that I utterly failed in making the simple point I thought I did.



Curmudgeonly would actually be criticizing rather than contributing to the banter. Nobody has to agree, it's just discussion.



Well, yes. That's all I was giving was an opinion.

Hmmm...That seems to be the $64,000 question...I think you started with what could be construed as a judgemental observation...

One final volley per my original post: I would construe that "billiard tables (in the context noted by rgrant), Op art, and Mies chairs" are incongruent in a Wright house as being an obvious, not a judgemental, observation.



To each his own (decor), that's why they make chocolate & vanilla! :wink:
