It matters not what the issue is, be it free fitness centers, dog parks, indoor swimming pools, fences and/or property line bushes, or power boats on Lake Sumter, most of the time these people have done and will do nothing to make their desires happen, no call to TV management to even validate their outrage. They'd rather just b__ch. (A salute to some of the dog people. I may disagree with what they want, or I may not, but they are doing more than just carping on TOTV.) I am sooo sick of the very small minority of people here in TV who are always so negative, who are never satisfied, whose only joy in life seems to be to suck the souls out of others. And since so many of these people seem to find whatever their complaint to be so serious and critical to their life in TV, I have suggested and continue to suggest that they might be happier elsewhere.

And no, I have never seriously suggested that singles pay less amenity fee than others. What you might be remembering is that at least twice, I have commented that it is unfair that singles pay the same trail fee as a household of four. But I made these comments in a tread that discussed the cost of Executive golf and trail fees and another seeking "pet peeves." Maybe the sheer injustice of it all is enough to make me move.

I agree. A forum is intended to foster discussion - and TOTV does that. And sometimes that discussion is just "blowing off steam" regarding some topic. Venting is OK - but IMHO it becomes whining over time when no initiative is taken to resolve the issue that is raised over and over again by the same people.

Whether it be kids driving golf carts, dogs peeing near the mailboxes, or the inequities of what is/isn't covered in amenity fees - work to find a solution.

Now I'll quit whining.
