Even discouraging discussing topics that have been discussed in previous posts, as if one should not ever bring that subject up again. Maybe there really isn't much left unsaid, and TOTV is becoming a groundhog day forum. Lately, it's almost like taking a sleep aid. Is TOTV going the way of the Daily Sun, which really is not much news, but a daily sales paper. Next, people will be posting their Fitbit data or selfies of them in their golf carts.

All of what you say is possible. I have seen a lot of moderators, some are waaaaay too loosy goosey and allow discussions and meanness to run rampant and others are very strict and delete a lot of stuff that is just a good debate among opinionated old people.
It depends how you mean "the quashing of different opinions by other posters". Hey...sometimes people are good with words and win a debate. The reason for a forum is to discuss, debate, disagree, agree, and we all have perimeters that make us uncomfortable. I go banana's when people come on THIS forum and seem to look down on people because they are old-er. No one set out to be old-er, well maybe they did, the alternative is not appealing.
You get where I'm going, kiddo?
