I have no personal axe to grind, here, and frankly believe that many posters do!

I have, since becoming a resident in January 2005, been strongly opposed to the always-negative approach of the POA. Yes, they may have, over the years, won some things for residents, but their on-going, relentless, negativity is, frankly, off-putting in the extreme!

My fear is that most of those who have posted an opinion in this thread have really very little knowledge of the true facts of the on-going tussle between the IRS and The Villages; indeed, their knowledge of the issue is, most likely, based upon sadly unsubstantiated "media reports."

I know that many of you will not only ignore my efforts at reasonableness, but will even work to counter them. That makes me exceedingly sad!

swrinfla -

if you have no axe to grind, please stay out of the 'conversation' and leave it to continue! i, for one, learned a lot thanx to advogado's postings; and i hope to learn more - from all opinions!

your demand to have the thread shut down - when you have no axe to grind - seems like an oxymoron of sorts. i see no 'reasonableness' in your effort to stifle us.

so please leave the thread and allow the rest of us to continue to discuss, teach, advise, learn and consider.

thanx
