a person can tell within the first 3 minutes if a conversation is going to be valuable with another poster. typically it's reduced to name-calling or general offenses directed @ groups, & is becomes more common closer to election time.

As a couple of people have already said, hiding under a cloak of anonymity is too safe for those who disrespect others. Require a person’s real name and photo and I would bet most, if not all of the disrespect and bullying will disappear.
Thank you for the work you do and for the courage to take action to stop this insane cruelty towards one another. |

It also protects those from the extreme nutcases...simply because they don't go along with the majority. Or from someone becoming enraged, from losing a debate/argument from someone producing actual facts...instead of depending on fringe, extremist websites. Imagine someone all 'likkered up,' who becomes enraged and knowing a persons name and address (easy to get after the name)...decides to take their rage out on that person or their property. With all due respect, I don't see you using your real name and address either. |

This will be an interesting line for the moderators to tow and I look forward to see how it is handled, too much heavy handedness and this forum becomes a worthless world of sunshine and unicorns, not enough and it degrades to the trashy level of may other social media platforms.
While spirited discussions will surely abound in the coming months of the November elections and will be more easily identified as political, what about the grayer areas? Where will you draw the line? A discussion of the 25% property tax increase is most certainly of profound interest to Villages residents and Sumter county alike, it easily shifts to a discussion of those making the decisions and that pending election, where will you draw the line? Since the posting of this thread you have had no teeth, this post https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...people-307816/ was clearly and purely political and offensive in nature and yet was allowed to fester for 90 posts. A quick review of the threads and posts on may of the forums show a great many clearly laced with political tones and derogatory comments. Where is the line to be drawn on these? When will this line be like a knife at the throat of liberty? Obviously this website is free to pluck and purn its branches as it sees fit. We can only hope they are not too aggressive as to kill the tree.

. . "Let us remind you that posting about politics is strictly forbidden. This includes the mention of political parties, political individuals, or any political topics." . . . SO MANY 'mentions/Threads/Posts' that fall under this area. Just reviewed the Subject Title of the first page of Threads with new posts today - 11 easily fall under "Political Topics". Moderators> you have a 'no win' task, as there are so many gray areas. I, for one, have had 2 Threads I've started the last couple weeks deleted due to this - started out neutral and newsworthy for discussion, then some Posters degraded it - and poof. Even with our TV Bubble and Dome in place, we are still a microcosm of the greater society.

It’s important that you remind our users of site guidelines. We are facing a difficult time in this country and emotions will take over as we vent our frustrations. Bottom line is The Villages offers an amazing lifestyle and I thank God everyday I wake up and plan my day.

Are the originators of TOTV, connected to The **************? I notice both their items
appear on my Ipad at close to the same time. Answer would be appreciated. |

Thank you. I was very close to deleting TOTV because of the mean spirited comments and responses. Not at all welcome in the environment we find ourselves in at the moment. I’ll give it another few weeks and see if the admins actually hold to their concept.

Thank you. I will cease and desist my efforts of giving others a chuckle by responding with my sometimes, I mean always, snarky sense of humor to posts by crotchedy, grumpy individuals. Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so you might as well be happy.
