Please don't suggest I start my own website to discuss these things because I don't have the where-with-all to accomplish something like that and I appreciate sharing thoughts with my Village neighbors. I don't understand why the few who are offended don't exercise their right not to engage so the rest of us can engage. Just a thought of one humble Villager. I suppose this may be over the top???

Gomoho ... I totally agree with your comments. I personally found the Political Forum to be interesting and educational. And I felt the sensibilities of other members were protected by making it an Opt In Forum.

But sadly, it's water over the bridge. Of course the Owners of the business called TOTV have the absolute right to make any rules they wish. Unfortunately we lost some good members with sharp minds when the Forum closed its doors.
