It is unfortunate more of LoL's etiquette has not rubbed off on elaine.

I'm pretty sure LoL is elaine's mother in law (Edward's mother), so by nature's law, they probably hate each other.

Based on their posts this stereotype appears misplaced. LoL or Elaine are free to correct my assumptions though.

I can only speak for myself, but I certainly do not hate Elaine. In fact I am very much enjoying having a daughter-in-law. I also enjoy being part of an enlarged family which includes Elaine's mom and sister and precious little nephew (who will turn 7 next Saturday).

While Edward and Elaine are very much in agreement on most issues (although they express their opinions differently, their opinions pretty much coincide), I do not agree with all of their stances. For example, I am not a vegetarian and I disapprove of vegetarianism when it is justified on ethical/moral grounds (although I accept vegetarianism on health or aesthetic grounds). I also have a different view of the proper relationship between humans and other species than Elaine and Edward do. However, we disagree respectfully and without acrimony. I enjoy the vegetarian meals at Elaine and Edward's home and refrain from foisting items made of animal products on them. They have no problem when we are eating in restaurants and I order meat or fish. (Or at least, if they have a problem they keep it to themselves.)

OTOH I think all three of us are in general agreement on issues like women's rights (including reproductive rights) and capital punishment. But we express ourselves in three different ways according to our individual personalities.

LoL, again I hope you will continue to share these opinions in OOT.
