Ok. I understand your feelings are valid to you.

"If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew. Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"

I read post #5 as the OP saying she believed Alberti would be a loyal friend to those he had a real life friendship with.

Nothing more.

@on the bay How come you are letting a poster slide when she clearly posted something as clear as can be, but of course what she said is not what she meant? How do you know that? Speculating, perhaps?

But, if I post something, it is taken at face value?

I will say that yes, some people do get involved with the hosts and think of them as their friends. They tune in when that host is on even if the host is presenting something they're not interested in and would never buy on a regular basis. And, one poster even admitted to keeping a list of things a host said.

I don't think it is weird to say, "I'll bet .........would be fun to hang out with" or " I wish I was neighbors with ......." nor have I ever said that.

You're reading too much into my statement that it is weird to think hosts are your friends. Some people have expressed that, used actual words to say that... more than one person. I only gave you one example.

I have not continued to repeat that I find some things people say are weird and I probably wouldn't mention it again at all if other posters, you included, wouldn't personally engage with me over this. It would have been a once and done statement.

I am entitled to my opinion and you are as well. I am okay with other opinions and welcome different views. I just don't think anyone will change my mind.

Sure.
