OldDave,
I agree with you.
The other day i read a post about solar tubes and was amazed that it was so positive and everyone liked the company that installed them. I almost made a post about how positive it was.
First, some people find it is their responsibility to preach. They have no intention of answering the question asked. "Where can I find discount cigarettes?" I knew that person would get lambasted. I don't smoke, don't know where to get discount cigarettes, so I did not post a reply.
Second, I love the "ignore" feature. People who always preach or go negative immediately can be "ignored" forever. I have 5 on the list and it cuts some negative people out and lowers my blood pressure.
I sometimes look at the first post of a thread and try to guess how long before it goes negative-meaning a personal attack on the poster. I understand different points of view but not personal attacks.
Folks, I love The Villages, this will be my 4th year as a renter and bicycle rider-the source of many of your problems. Peace to all.
