The quote "The Radleys, welcome anywhere in town, kept to themselves, a predilection unforgivable in Maycomb," serves to illustrate that:

• The Radleys were heavily anti-social 
• The town could forgive the oddity of the Radleys, but they could not understand why they were so strange.
• Maycomb's social structure is built upon "obligatory" relationships with others in the town; the Radleys violate this unwritten understanding.
• Everyone enjoyed having the Radleys over in their home and were hurt every time they didn't show.
