Re: This is not intended to be a "negative" forum and it isn't
I appreciate all of your comments. I am really troubled when I hear somebody say this is a negative forum. I hosted radio and television talk shows for years and years. Quite often I would get a call from a local elected official demanding that I discontinue discussion of a certain topic. They would give the impression that somehow I was subservient to them. Well, of course, all that did was recommit me to the topic.
I am aware that there is a group of homeowners in the Villages that have formed an organization that thrives on developer bashing. That's not us. That's not what we want.
My partners and I had hoped that the Villages would join with us and use Talk of The Villages to help disseminate information of interest to us all. Whenever I have invited Villages departments to participate, they have politely declined saying that they have their own media department and will not be needing us. How unfortunate that is. This is a place where we can tell people in a flash of a second when there are changes in schedules, matters of vital interest or how to further enhance their Villages lifestyle.
Oh well. Our invitation to them is open. Anytime we can be of help of any kind, we are ready, willing and able.
