The go-to response is "if you don't like it, move". Pretty much what you just posted. The koolaid drinkers have become the cyberbullies of TOTV. Still friends.

I really wasn't referring to any of us with a legitimate complaint or alternative view of how things should be. Nothing that needs to be improved will ever get better without people speaking up. If I thought about it, I could come up with a list of improvements as well. But we both know there are those who literally NEVER have a good word to say about TV, every post is negative, we both know who they are, and therefore my comment about why they would want to live here. As you know, there is constructive criticism and there is just plain whining
As far as "protectors of the crown" go, I don't think the billionaire developers need much protection, per se. But it does tend to balance out the chronic nay-sayers.
I personally do not subscribe to the "if you don't like it , move" philosophy, I prefer "If you don't like it, try to change it" If enough people agree with the change, it may very well happen. You'll also note that most of the negative comments about TV offer no alternative policy, and many of them are either picayune or way out in left field. But they are still entitled to their opinion on this forum. They are NOT entitled to make personal attacks against anyone, even our #1 cheerleader. And yes, still friends!
