It's like he went out for some KFC and never came back.

:shocked:

onslowe.

Miss his posts and seeing him at other places.

LiZa. She was rather active on the old Political Forum. Think she was banned for life eventually.

Agree!

Well, new member of pretty much any forum are people new to the topics of that forum...

And if I misconstrued your point about "newcomers and rabble rousers", I apologize...

Ditto
 

I was thinking the same think. No value added. Only taking shots at an innocent post.

I agree. This type of negative comment is why they bow out.
I guess some will never learn.

You have to have a certain level of ....ummm........starch in your collar, to be able to survive any online Forum. This one is one of the kinder, gentler ones, but I was overwhelmed at what I thought to be quite innocent comments when I began here many years ago. My first mess occurred when I asked if the builder here was someone you could trust. Wowser, did I get smacked.

Now here I am many years later defending the Morses. lol.

You need to learn on any forum to try NOT to take things personally and be a very clear communicator. What some folks SAY sometimes is not exactly what they MEAN.

Thanks for remembering my brother in law, zcaveman. Great guy. He passed away 5 years ago.😪 His wife, my sister, passed 2 years ago.😪 thanks again.

We used to call him VPL. He used that name because he used the computers at the Belvedere library. He did not have a home computer.

At one time he added an egg or two to his diet, so I don't think he was a total vegan. I think he stopped with the eggs, though.

Don't know why he quit posting. Another member on here saw him using the computers at the library after he disappeared from TOTV. I don't believe he broke any forum rules, but he was very argumentative, and pushed a number of people's buttons. He could have moved on to a forum of like-minded folks.

An innocent post comparing newbies to rabble rousers...

Oh, and I thought we had settled that issue.

So nice of you to bring it back up!

He was a good man too, sorry I didn’t think of him right away to mention him. May they both rest in peace.

I enjoyed "GeeWhiz", who was here in TV for a short time before he passed away. Great sense of humor!

Great thread about some of the best posters. Thanks for the memories.

We spoke for nearly two hours when I still lived in New Jersey. The list of people who were so kind and helpful to us when we were trying to decide to take the leap was long. I couldn't remember Zcaveman at first but I certainly remembered him. He asked for my phone number so he could help me better. Great guy. I'll always be grateful :pray:

My intention when I got to The Villages was to be helpful to anyone I could assist. I sorta lost my way with that wavelength. My first meeting at Crispers was a memory that was PRICELESS. It was so hot, I was bleeding sweat and everyone else was just taking it in stride. That's the day I learned about hydration from 2BNTV who was also a valued friend for a long time. DRINK, DRINK, DRINK.....WATER! There were at least 50 people there. It was great.

Look at the beautiful (Mostly) memories that everyone contributed in this thread. I'm ashamed of a few that I missed like tomwed. I can't really describe him but what a funny and smart guy he was. One time he asked a question and I typed a reply and his response was, I asked you for the time and you built me a watch, shorten up your replies Nucky. I :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: laughed my tail off but truthfully he was correct.

To everyone who posted :mademyday:
