Threads that people think they must post 10 times or much more in one thread. To bully, actually it then gets boring. When 2 or 3 people are just posting against each other it’s a turn off

The ones that start out with a "No Politics!" claim, and then proceed to bring up subjects known to trigger politics. And then when someone calls them on it, they say "I was merely" or "I only" or "I innocently" or "I was just" followed by "and I DID say "no politics!".

You see this in many threads here. In poker, it's called a tell.

Anything not Villages related - threads about national topics, they are bait to talk politics.
If XYZ store in Brownwood still requires masks or proof of vaccine, great - but I don’t come here to talk about AMerican Air’s mask or vaccine policy.
Keep the topics about THE VILLAGES - that’s all.

Posts that claim to be non-political, but are based on political positions.
Posts that assume negative intention on someone's part.
Posts that attack, denigrate, or dismiss other people's opinions.
Posts that are out of context, or argue over a semantic nuance instead of intent.

In other words, posts that lead to arguing instead of discussing.

Although TOTV is supposed to not be political there are always political posts and that is what I hate reading the most. Typically the moderator lets right wing conservative views stay and when a moderate jumps into express a view only then do things get shut down. Take the Lori Lightfoot post. That stayed for up for 3 pages of people hating on the mayor. When one post supporting her decision came up 2 posts later it was shut down. That thread never should have been allowed in the first place. Anyway political threads are what I hate the most about TOTV.

I voted other; the ones I hate the most are the tools that out of one side of their mouth they’re saying how much they love The Villages and out of the other side they’re constantly bitching about The Developer.

They can’t have it both ways....

Sure you can. You can love the neighborhood you live in, and hate what's being done to the rest of the community.

But what they’re doing to the rest of the community may be just ideal for the biggest percentage of the rest of the people.

Please, spare us the pizza posts. And the Chinese food posts, as well.

We did a take out at Little Caesar's and it was fine. Boy, $6 up here now. But the same size pepperoni pizza at a nearby place here is $26.
The $6 one tastes much better.

People who move to The Villages for what it has to off and then want to change things like they had ‘back home’. (Ex: “get rid of round-a-bouts”, “get rid of gates and guards cause this is not a gated community “, “use speed bumps”, “change the officials because they are developer’s puppets”, “ developer is greedy”, etc). You moved here because you liked what you saw.

Two, who has the best pizza. See it a hundred times since I’ve been here.

I hate it when people ask "where is the best ___ restaurant around here." Never fails -- someone names a restaurant at least 1000 miles from here.
It's usually someone on the east coast that names a restaurant up in NY or MA or CT. Oh... and then let's top it off with "you can't really find good ____ around here."
So tired of that.
