Don't belong. Most people are able to do enough research on any of these life changes before they make the move, or before they join a group or club. Then they want to change it. Suggestions and positive improvements are OK. But even then if you make a suggestion and it is explained why it is the way it is, move on.

Or should we all go out and lobby to allow large pink Flamingo's on our lawn? When I bought here I knew the rule was I could not do that. And if that is so important to me that I want to complain, lobby, instigate and in other ways try to change that rule, I should just move elsewhere where I can do it. JMHO.
I have no problem with people posting about something they think could be better. One of the positive aspects of living in a community with people from all over the country is that they bring alternate views of how things could be done. Anyone who has served on a committee where the membership stays the same for a long time realizes how important new blood is to achieving goals.

However, I see a segment of TV that seems to want everything they had in their prior community here, except the weather. Sorry, this is not your prior community. Your favorite grocer, barber, mechanic, restaurant, golf course, etc. are not here. What's also not here are those aspects of your former community that led you to move here. Last time I checked, nobody was forced to relocate here.
