Welcome is the very architecture of this social construct.
Another word for welcome is tolerance. The Tavern is built on an ethos of openness. Social prejudice, personal distaste, and prejudgment of character just doesn’t work in the Tavern. You can have those attitudes, but you can’t preclude people one way or another. The Tavern is open to anyone who upholds its rules – namely make everyone else welcome. The Tavern is also built on the insistence that personal change is possible. Someone’s previous track record (e.g. uncivilized behavior) doesn’t change their welcome in the Tavern the next time. If they blow it one day, they know that each day the door is opened anew. As with all constructs, the architecture contains and expresses the rules.
