Agreed with this - getting on with other people is fraught with perils, and shouldn't be used as a basis for political affiliation.
And the Guardian readership is a pretty broad church in the internet age, don't feel the stereotype holds much water any longer.
I grew up in a household where the Times was the default paper, and I don't think it's scarred me that much. I thought their investigative journalism (Sunday Times) could be pretty good, so I guess that stayed with me. Other than that, and the sport pages, it was pretty standard right-wing free market piffle.
