While I was teaching school, I was always the advocate fighting for some cause or another. I felt nothing was ever done right!! I was always fighting for a cause for everyone. I have learned a long time ago to lighten up. Too little time left with too much to enjoy! That's my opinion and it ought to be yours.

Drinking Kool-Aid according to Boomer relates to Jonestown

Drinking TV Kool-Aid relates to the joke around TV that the developer spikes the drinks to make everyone happy and buy his houses.

Frangyomory,
Muncle has no other life. I agree wih you. Sorry you went through this but know most are very nice people.

Fran, one thing to remember about online is that people are not always what they seem. I vaguely remember Muncle at one of the Crispers' get togethers. Sadly, he hasn't come since. He was fun, charming, a good guy to meet and know. The other thing is to take what you want and leave the rest.

I'm like you -- I'm not a big fan of the developer. I don't begrudge them the money they have made, I just don't like how much they really do own and the secretiveness of some of that ownership (Citizens Bank, all of the TV beauty salons and barbershops, etc.). I will always appreciate the concept of Harold Schwartz, the implementation of that concept by Gary Morse and the continuation of TV by Mark Morse, et al. I don't have to like everything about them, just like I don't have to like everything about my neighbors, my best friend or anyone else.

I've met you briefly and hope to meet you again for a longer period the next time. From what I could tell, you, too, are charming -- at least everyone at your table was laughing and having a good time. Some of your posts do come across as negative but I'd guess that is more because we can't see your face or body language is you type. However, I also know you do love The Villages and you couldn't imagine wanting to live elsewhere. So, ignore those who don't understand you and enjoy the good here.

Frangyomory, why must you end your sentence with a curse word or words? Unless :edit: means something other than curse words. And who is the you all? All of TOTV? Can you explain some of your over the top anger?

[Frangyomory]

Johnny, read this entire thread and you will see to whom I am addressing my last message. By the way, the "censored" at the end of my messages is just to indicate that I am angry but trying not to show it. If it is taken as a curse word, sorry, but I don't use that kind of language. I obviously have misinterpreted the little icon.

Muncie in particular is a problem child and you will see who follows his lead if you read this thread.

I am finished commenting on this particular thread. You see I have to say it this way or Muncie will ask why I haven't gone away. :dontknow:

[renielarson]

Stop it! This is ridiculous Fran and Muncle. Chill.

[nONIE]

Bright,

your beginning to sound just like a schoolteacher! LOL!

This too shall pass :

[Rokinronda]

I said I was not going to post here, but after reading tonight I decided that I opened this can of worms and am NOW shutting it. Name calling, angry words, nastiness, and the such MUST STOP. Fran, I am so sorry you have been hurt. This is a place for adult discussion. and I WANT THIS TOPIC TO END RIGHT NOW!!! PEACE!!

[renielarson]

Nonie

If only I would count how many times a day I use that word...CHILL! 1rnfl

Thanks BeBack for the reply on Kool Aid. Now I know the rest of the story. I remember the Jones incident and the Kool Aid but never put it together. Glad I asked the question.
Take care
