Has everyone forgotten: "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise"?
It seems as if the new code of ethics is: "Do Unto Others Before They Can Do Unto You".
This rotten attitude is, of course, not endemic to The Villages, but somehow it seems more wrong here.

I agree with everything you've said, Indy. Unfortunately, the ill-mannered have engendered the "you snooze you lose" mentality. People who would otherwise remain polite and take their turns and play fair have lost their "place" to the bullies so much that they sometimes become bullies themselves.
It's why some of us rarely go to these events. I would rather stay back than be pushed around and get angry to the point of stooping to their level.
