Moderators do not show favoritism. However, they do experience forced retirement after so many repeated daily doses of vitriol.

Thank you!! I almost decided not to read anything anymore!!
The Villages must stand for friendliness, cooperation and mutual respect.
Thank you for your hard work!!

If someone complains about my garden gnome and I ask who reported me I am not allowed to know who it is because of the possibility of reprisal. Same here. Besides, that person nextdoor that you get along so well with now just might change if he/she finds out who they have been arguing with on totv, then there goes the neighborhood.
Thanks to the moderators for the work they do, trying to keep us all civil in our discussions.

Do we have a link to this new sub-forum?
Don't see it listed.

It hasn't changed our decision of moving there, but has opened our eyes a bit on what we may experience once we become residents.

I was beginning to rethink moving to TV- but I do think the majority have useful informative info on here.

Moderator: Just wondering if my following comment would be allowed in this new
Current Events forum. It deals with current events but the subject matter is questionable and may be considered political. Please let me know if I would be stepping over the line with this comment. Thank you........

I saw on the news on TV that people who will be attending the rally in Tulsa will be given masks and hand sanitizer. That makes me feel a bit better about the massive crowd congregating with no social distancing in an indoor venue.

Happy talk keep talking happy talk.!! Talk about things you love to do!!

I appreciate your stepping in to attempt to curtail the hostility that has become so prevalent on the site in recent weeks. Quite honestly, I’d pretty much given up reading it because the sarcasm, anger and intolerance in so many of the posts just upset me and made me ashamed of being part of this community. In these crazy times we need to band together instead of driving ourselves apart.

Thank you for monitoring this site.

Yes, this is 80% of the problem with the online activities in general.

Thank you. That was a long time coming. So much disrespect.

[bennete2]

Fabulous thank you.

Grateful to our Admins. I had just started deleting the TOV emails. They became uninformative and TOTALLY political. My vote is one,two, three strikes you are OUT! No exceptions. No political undertones. Just Villages information. Joyful or sad, not political or nasty.

[tophcfa]

Great news, thanks. When I read the thread title I got very worried thinking the announcement was going to be that the old (good) version of TOV was going to be discounted.

[mary4471]

Still more politics in this email. Please delete the threads and block user for a week! Thank you for your service 😊
