Tim, that has been my entire point all along, that it isn't nice.

Actually, no, that wasn't your entire point. Or if was, you didn't make it so everybody could understand it.

You went beyond it being not nice to it being intentionally and deliberately cruel and insulting even if the people themselves didn't care whether they were invited to the party.

There's quite a difference.

I don't know that anybody ever argued that it was nice to not invite that one couple. ]

My point wa simply that the uninvited guest had the opportunity to choose whether to be insulted, or offended if you prefer, by that, or to choose not to be. I still maintain that the unvited guest has that opportunity -- indeed, either consciously or unconsciously MUST make that decision.
