In my 4.5 yrs on this forum, I've observed several cycles of nasty and contentious behavior. People come, people go. Life goes on. TOTV is a great source of information and advice and a place to exchange opinions but I've seen people write nasty things here that I have never heard in person. The anonymity of the keyboard, I suppose. Just look at the posting history of some members and all you see are negative and critical thoughts. Most folks are upbeat or more balanced but it only takes a few to sour the mood.

I still get a kick out of reading uplifting stories of people who have discovered The Villages, sold houses, found their little piece of paradise here, and eagerly embrace a new and exciting chapter in their lives. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Yes that seems to be a norm on any forum.. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
So, Russ, good luck to you and your wife on selling and relocating and we'll see you in real life on the pickleball courts, golf courses, and squares (and Facebook, of course).

allright
