What's your purpose in bumping all these contentious threads? If you were adding to the discussion I would understand. But to just bump them to bring them to the fore without any additional comment or information appears to be just stirring the pot for no reason or benefit to the members of this board. Doesn't seem like you.

Someone asked a question about a law suit. Gracie was commenting on the "haters" on the developers who gave us this wonderful place to live. You know the people who want to live here but don't appreciate the developers who gave us all of this because the have more money then they do?

So, she is bumping the threads so they can see that some people just want to bite the hand that makes the beauty they get to live in.

I just so love it here and wish every person who has worked hard all of their lives and now can retire could share it with us.

That is why I bumped these old contentious threads.

I don't like it here. I just love it here.


I am so sure that all of the things that I worried about originally in my...'Omigosh this is way too good to be true stage' and 'how and what is being put over on me stage' are not cause for worry anymore. I know that most of you will sort this out, but I remember thinking...Oh..now that worry is laid to rest and then something else would come up. I just thought I would bump some old threads and pick a pimple I guess.


I love this place so much that sometimes I am accused of working for the Morses. ..who I do not know at all. PERIOD.

I was trying to help, honest.

I do not think the developer "Gave Us" anything. They built a very nice community that we paid for and will pay for, until we move or die !

You are correct! They didn't GIVE us anything! But they didn't have to do it so nice either. And still could have made a bundle!

Now, if you don't mind, I have some Kool aid to finish!

With all due respect I feel that you are using the term "gave" in a much different way than Gracie did. You're using "gave" like would be used in the case of being given a gift at Christmas, birthdays or other special occasions. Gracie used "gave" as another way of stating provided, meaning offered to us, directly or indirectly, a product or lifestyle for purchase. Are there any of us that didn't take advantage of that product/lifestyle on our own free will?

Perhaps the term "haters" was a little strong as people do have a right to voice their opinions, criticisms or simply what they are feeling. However, it can reach a point sometimes where it goes beyond making constructive criticisms and encroach into the realm of disingenuous. Let's face it, the developer has not only given us the possibility of owning the homes we live in, but has also provided many jobs for the greater community, and that includes some of us frogs. Think positively and remember that none of us would be here enjoying what we do if not for "the developer!"

...and for anyone who is unhappy here, the housing market is still very strong in The Villages so they are able to sell with no loss and ...

No one is being forced to stay here due to a weak economy such as if this were Detroit and not being able to sell your house.

Default Let's look at the real world

I started this thread. It IS NOT about whether anybody hates the Developer or whether or not the Developer has given us a great place to live.

This thread IS about staying informed concerning the most important issue facing Villagers today-- one that COULD have a major impact on our lifestyle and investment. It is an issue that has been downplayed and distorted by the Developer-owned Daily Sun and by the Developer's subsidized organization-- the Villages Homeowners' Association. Unless one wants to live in a fantasy world, to suggest that the IRS investigation not be discussed in the forum is absurd.

Incidentally, in case you missed it, the latest development is reported in the last Property Owners' Association Bulletin.

When i first came on this board,i had both guns blazing and took numerous hits.I needed to know everything about TV, and many posters felt i was just a troublemaker("a hater").It just seemed to good to be true, i wanted to know everything about TV and the IRS issue.While i still have concerns about the future settlement with the IRS,the postives of TV far outweigh the negatives.There is NO place in this entire country that offers the lifestyle opportunities we have in TV, and believe me i've checked. TV is...........A Criuse Ship On Land
