I am hoping that the new and improved version of the Forum software that TalkHost announced will include some customizable filtering features.... e.g. each member can select forum areas or individual member posts that they wish to ignore.

I, too, try to ignore the political posts and most certainly very rarely ever respond to them. Our national politics have become so polarizing in us vs them, red vs blue, liberal vs conservative, etc conflicts. Unfortunately, these political conflicts spill over and turn into personal conflicts and attacks on people who otherwise are or could be good friends.

All that being said, a moratorium seems like a suppression of free speech, something most of us would discourage. Better yet, ignore political or if you choose to participate please re-read your posts before hitting SAVE and try to smooth out the rough edges and remove personal attacks of both TOTV members and the candidates. It's all about the Issues.

On the other hand, it's a beautiful morning in The Villages and a great day to be alive and enjoying the good life.
