Very true, everything you said. There has been a group (called "the posse") that has regularly attacked people who post their opinions that are not favorable to The Villages. If I were looking to move here, I would rent for a few months during the high season to try it out, and talk with as many people as possible - neighbors, folks you golf with, etc. to try and get a better feel for the place and whether or not it would be a good fit for you. As far as research, TOTV is a starting point, but is not the end all.
