Well.......I think Taj may be right.

Perhaps she knows Guido?

(Oh just realized she was talking about something from over a year ago. So she really doesn't know Guido, I guess)

Tpop. Are you speaking particularly about the recent thread about the new restaurant, Luigino's? Or about some other subject? I am not sure what you were trying to say and about what subject. We can't all agree on every subject.

This thread has a lot of truly mean posts on it and also the attempts by some people to diffuse the meaness by a little levity or changing the subject.

We are all just ordinary folks with ordinary hearts and ordinary sensitivities. We all lose patience, we all have our passions and our hot buttons and we all are right some of the time and wrong some of the time. We all have bad days filled with worry about other issues.

We just can't lose sight of the fact that this is the fourth quarter of our lives. We really shouldn't be wasting it.

Tomorrow is going to be another beautiful day in The Villages.

I usually think people are expressing concern over injured parties and / or trying to understand a traumatic situation; don't think it's done to be nosy.

The first response to the original poster was, IMHO, sarcastic without good reason. It put me off and prompted me to think back on the reasons I wrote the original post and bring it back.

This stuff has gotten real old!!!

With social networking and forums there are many different personalities and opinions expressed. The main rule to follow is that respect is maintained between members and that we can agree to disagree and that's ok. Comments should be directed at the topic and not a user.

Remember you can add a user to your 'Ignore List' in the User CP and if a post crosses the line you can click the triangle in the upper right corner of the post to send it to admin/moderators to review and address.

What if you just absolutely don't agree with the poster, Tpop?

What if you think they are misinformed, overreacting, or posting information that is incorrect. Is that still diminishing the poster? Or marginalizing the poster? We can't agree all of the time, all of us, on everything.

I don't agree on here sometimes with people I just love and completely respect.

I know that yesterday was Easter, but why would you want to bring this thread back from the dead?
