I think my point is that Jesus was "in the midst" of many people. Just because Jesus was in their midst does not make them the kind of people we should desire to be part of.
I think some people use the "Jesus hung out with sinners" argument to almost justify or imply that we should be sinners. But Jesus hung out with Pharisees and devils as well.
The Lord's table was something reserved for his closest disciples and not something offered just to any person.
