First, making those factual statements about the VHA is not bashing. It is exposing.

Second, the VHA is not "my rival organization". I am not the POA and have made it very clear that I am neither an officer or director thereof and never have been. I am a resident of The Villages, who is frankly outraged that the VHA, while its president was an employee of the Developer and whose other presidents, upon leaving office, have had their political careers launched by the Developer, would hold itself out as a homeowners' association.

Third, I would request that you stick to the facts of this issue rather than berating me for pointing out an uncomfortable truth.

A lot of residents do not understand the facts regarding the relationship between the Developer and the VHA. They are not well publicized. Frankly, I did not understand how unsavory that relationship is until, inspired by some of the posts in this thread defending the VHA, I decided to do some digging. Thus, as this thread continued, and I learned more, my criticism of that relationship became more and more harsh.
