From the perspective of a newbie, I have never seen a nicer forum. Wonderful people on the board, even more so in PM's. Wants to make me give you all a group hug and buy you all a drink!


See you all at the end of January! PM us your drink order.

TOTV moderators do a good job in closing threads, where statements are made referring directly to another poster, in an insulting manner.

Besides, "I don't let anybody rent space in my head". :

Some newer posters that have joined this forum, make derogatory statements and tend to go away, after a while. Almost all people, will recognize, they are trying to get a rise out of people, and ignore their posts.

This is a informative, fun site and filled with positive people. Negative people who tend to think, they are the only one's that have truth in them, disagree with other posters, and that forms a healthy discussion.

As long as we "agree to disagree respectfully" is the key to harmony.

As always. Kind, smart, fair and very thought provoking. So glad you are here, Joe.

That was a good question, OP. I have been perceived as bullying but my intention was to expose someone trying to use the community, and I was one of only three people who understood that there was a money grabbing scheme going on, while most were expressing sympathy and wanted to help.

Thanks Gracie. So glad that you are here to greet new people, as well as the veterans.

Always welcoming people to your home.!!! A great example of what people should strive for.

Both of you are extreme hosts, Joe, you and Grace! I don't have any friends who are bullies, I have the greatest friends on earth. Feeling very blessed and lucky to be in TV!
God bless us every one!

I've met a few posters on this board and am selective about who I choose to share my information with privately. In my job, I see a lot of the consequences of giving out personal info in social media so I'm more cautious than most.
You pretty much hit the clique thing on the mark. Anyone with under 100 posts is immediately pounced on by either the "give me a link, give me proof...." crowd or the "why did you post this" self-anointed message board censors.
I've always wondered why so many people who profess to live in Disney for adults spend most of their time sitting inside on a computer looking for posts to pick apart.

There are many who post who have strong opinions and are reasonable in the presentations of them but many have not so hidden agendas against the majority's traditional views and politics. They will use any platform to be contrarian and will make fun of people who are generally happy here and who are annoyed by their general negativism. I believe that the politics of the developer is a a burr under the saddle with many of these folks.


If a person is a reasonable debater and is able to win a debate through logical presentation of facts and opinions, that is NOT bullying. That is winning an argument.


EVERYONE gets angry and frustrated sometimes. People are people. But ANONYMOUS people have absolutely no reputation to uphold or ruin.


Even those who are nice... are not above a jab now and then.


SO...OP. Why do you ask and how do you see yourself? Mais, je pense Monsieur Beaubein isn't anonymous. N'est pas? But you are NOT a villager?

Yes--- i have a right to my privacy and the freedom of speech --- Thank you - I prefer not to meet some people -- Thank again - I really dont care who you are or what your real name is ---Thank you
