OP, I understand your position completely. If you observe the Threads and posts on TOTV the political forum has begun to dominate TOTV. Also, lately I see some Threads that don't even belong in the political forum but are there because the posts are not monitored and those that post can post and use any and all "language" they want. Some of the outlandish language used does not bode well for the reputation of residents of The Villages, Florida IMHO.

Finally, much of the content in the political forum instead of being informative is nonsense attack rhetoric and repetition of the same political positions over and over again. It's impossible to have a civil debate and discussion on any current political event.
Personal attacks are the rule rather than the exception.

Sure you have the option of passing on the political forum. Some have done just that but I wonder if they just might pass on TOTV period. Just a thought...."However beautiful the strategy, occasionally you should look at the results". Winston Churchill
