Worst is the people and their pettiness and small-mindedness, especially when it comes to politics. I’ve heard people say incredibly rude and unkind things to those who don’t agree with them. NIMBY is, sadly, a way of life here. Many are too quick to condemn and belittle those that are different.
TOTV is a prime example of both. You can see the best of people on main threads, especially Helping Hands. You can see the worst on comments about snowbirds and bad drivers. You can see the absolute worst in the Political Threads.

In general...I agree.
The best things are the winter weather, kindness of so many and the easy/convenient availability of golf...in a plethora of forms.
The worst things are those who harbor extreme misogyny/hatred/anger/bigotry/racism/xenophobia...and their reactions & personal attacks when you don't share those traits.
And while I have been careful to be very generic and avoid even the appearance of attacking anyone by name, I'm betting that there will be a number of members...who will immediately complain to the mods.
I'm also betting though, that the mods will realize that this post completely conforms with the rules & guidelines...and will treat it as such.
