Someone sent a PM to me about my posts on the situation of Sumterplace. They felt that I was marginalizing the posts of the people who feel that they were lied to about the property abutting the assisted living place.

So.......that is why.

I guess I would have simply PM'ed them back but thanks for explaining.

This whole thread is an example of me posting a simple thing like do you want a COSTCO and giving people a means to possibility get one here. I was then informed by several people why that would never happen. Some said they had taken my suggestion. I did not ask for inputs as to whether or not it is is possible and frankly I do not even know if it will. I even put in a post in the thread that said I do not care about your negative opinion and it still continued. Some opinions about why or why not something will happen have nothing to do with an action to try and accomplish something. Why did The Villages ask what businesses we would like in the area, to include COSTCO. Did you write them and tell them that it will not happen. People have way to much time on their hands if they comment on every single thing said here. This used to be very informative and helpful. I would still like to see a COSTCO here.

So, if one person complains about a restaurant or a contractor, I'll consider the source (do I know that person, do I respect their opinion) and I'll consider my own personal experiences. However, if more than one makes similar complaints in a venue I basically trust, then I'll probably try to steer clear of that person or business.

Me too!

... it still is and will always be despite those who chide others on what they post and how they think! I recently started a post asking for specific information and clarifying what I wasn't looking for. The responses never addressed what I was looking for and all of them addressed what I wasn't looking for. Did I chide them on what they posted? No! I thanked them for their input and simply stated that I was still looking for answers to my question.

Hi quill: There is a simple solution to the above-mentioned "state of affairs"

"don't look back".

Ah, maybe they've already met the... aah... Rubicon? (pardon the pun)

[quill]

Rubicon you make my point, another obtuse response that I do not even know what it means. Look back at what? I was trying to get a movement going like was done for Trader Joes and it failed, because I was told by all the all knowing folks on the forum why it would not work. I am not looking back, I simply use my attempt at COSTCO as an example. I gave it a shot and got what I got. How many of you that are always so critical of others posts will actually make a difference to change things? A good example would be have you contacted you rep about the Oaks park funding? For all of you on a fixed income as many claim you are this is a big deal. The comment that this forum is not like it used to be comes up every single time this forum is talked about and I am not the one bringing it up. I am done with this thread. It is a nose on the front of your face thing and many of you can not see it.

Why do people drag up these old posts anyway?? If you have new thought why not start a new thread?

Maybe this will help. It's from Graciegirl.
