Nirvana
A few days ago I posted for the first time on TOTV discussing an undesirable situation involving a construction crew renting in my villa neighborhood. As pointed out at the time this was not part of what I bought into when first we moved to TV and thought it quite appropriate to alert others of the possibility this might one day effect them as well. Nothing I said was untrue or exaggerated as subsequently proven by other posters who added to the thread. The first of August arrived and voila, evidently the construction job was done, the lease expired, and the premises vacated. Nirvana is again in balance. The reason for this post is to take issue with many of the long term participants on this forum who at worst implied in responding to the thread that I was a troll and liar ( or was it a toad and liar ) for implying all might not be as ideal in TV as suggested in the propaganda forthcoming from the developer on a daily basis. At best, it was also suggested my usage of some common English words was politically incorrect and designed to be deliberately inflammatory. Note that no pejoratives were used, only words that have been in common usage for the last couple of centuries. The point is, TV is really a nice place to live but from my personal perspective does not constitute " Heaven on Earth " and I take exception to being castigated for not believing that it does. With respect to my choice of words, note the use of " propaganda " above. Look it up in Webster's. It is not a pejorative, or is it intended to be inflammatory though I have no doubt some will view it as such. To quote or paraphrase Jonathan Swift " There are none so blind as those who refuse to see ". I do think this old adage, in thinking about most internet forums, does have some application. As far as being a troll or toad, yes I have some warts, just like TV and freely admit to it though TV never will.
