18 totv messages, 1-2 positive/neutral in tone
 

IMO, totV posts have become 80% or more negative in tone, and half of those lacking negative tone are advertisements.

Agreed.

What the f*** do you mean? Are you some kind of a$$h***?
This place $uck$. There is nothing to do ever, people die of boredom---no golf, no entertainment, no clubs, no shows, no movies. The population has grown to 5.5 million, it take 6 hours to drive 3 blocks whether by car or cart. The line out the doors of the restaurants stretch to Tampa and the food is unfit for dogs. You pay 11 million for a house worth 200K, the Morse's are charlatans who built nothing worthwhile at all. And you wonder why 80% of posts are negative?:a20:
(Sorry, couldn't resist)

Subject of OP is not the place, it is the negative tone of posts.
Your humorous post maybe intersected with happy hour?
Jolly well Appreciate it!

I personally appreciate a heads up on a service provider or establishment that should be avoided.
On the other hand I have also found excellent people to deal with from TOTV.
All positive comments would be misleading. The Villages and area are great, and I love it here, but TV is not without negatives.

That's why I apologized for my inability to resist my sarcasm muse. But you must admit most negative posts are either complaints about TV in general, complaints about a vendor, especially restaurants, and complaints that border on personal attacks on another poster. ( I hope I successfully incorporated all three in my post). I wish it WAS "happy hour", but stuck in central NY for the time being, very few hours are as happy as they are in TV

positive or negative perspective....well-expressed eagle!
We need some patriotic music, cheerleaders and mood magic here on totv!

You know what they say

I agree with you Kitty. Many times I'll receive a private message instead of the answer being posted on the forum. They would rather do that than put up with some of the responses to their post.

Thought for the day or a day:
Sometimes when people disagree with our thinking, we consider it to be negative.

I'm sticking with my promise:D
