For what it's worth, I run an email list for my village, and have run it for eight years. I don't abide rumors, and I try to obtain valid information before I tell people that they are just rumors. The person who sent me this is quite reliable, and, in fact, is the type of person who gripes when others send out rumors, so she is just trying to get some facts.
Why the "business man" would start something like this is beyond me. All I want to do is put an end to it, true or not. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the ban on support for parades also sounded ridiculous, but as it turned out, there was some truth to it.
And to answer the other question, yes, I am Dr Jan Bergeron, a retired veterinarian who has lived in The Villages for nine years (come next month). I am on the Advisory Board of the Mac Users Group. And I do not like rumors, hoaxes, urban legends, chain letters, and other related nonsense.
Note to the owners of this forum: I think it is a great place to share information, but I would recommend special forum for Village Rumors, where people could ask legitimate questions about rumors. I certainly get enough of these and spend a lot of time researching them. I did research this one but could not find any information, which is why I posted the question here. I did not expect to be criticized for asking the question.

You just hit on two things I really don't like.
This developer is not open about his plans. Everything has to be rumor and if you don't know the people involved, you never know whether it is true or not, unless it happens. Harold was not like this. The Sun is useless as it prints only what the developer allows. I have had first knowledge of this through getting the advertisers for the Polo Club and the teams. If would take a book with all the going on with Polo. But I have to tell all the sponsors, that even I don't know if it will go private next year. No one knows but there are rumors.!!!
The second thing is how abusive and rude some posters are on this board. Plus they pretend to know it all, and are often so wrong. I have watched this board since 2007 when it started. It has ones who post a great deal and become friends and agree with each other. These groups or a poster can also attack and be mean...as you see how they treated you... But this board is much less mean today with the new owners than it use to be...I applaud the new owners for keeping things in check.
Sorry can't help you with these rumors but let us know if you find out more.
