Dear Mr. Mark.

The reason for this thread was that the administrator was explaining that there would be a recourse for posters who wanted to report a blatant lack of respect.

This forum has many different aspects and many different sorts of information.

One of the most important types of information is factual. There are questions posed about issues such as the bond, that are totally new to people thinking about moving to the villages. Also things like number of pets, whether fences are allowed, whether buying an electric cart or a gas one is the best.

When we were thinking about buying property here, I had many such questions and this forum was an excellent source of factual information.

In reading the factual information, I discerned much about the personalities of the posters. Some were concise, some were on topic, some were witty, some were always negative. It allowed me to get a feel for the community I was thinking to join.

Although this forum certainly does NOT allow us to know all of the people in The Villages, it does allow us to catch a glimpse of the kind of interactions we might be having with others.

Please be patient with the "dribble". It really is only showing that people are human and in this thread, very kind.

I hope you find a place in The Villages, Mr. Mark. It is a very friendly place.

Kindest wishes,

Gracie

Welcome back Gracie - we were running short of Kool-Aid during your absence - it was getting rough

Trolling is against the rules for all of us, even those who advocate patience with rules violations.

Finally, your hope that "I find a place in TV" is appreciated, particularly since I've been a resident for 19 years. I wish you well as you too are about to become a Villager.

I suggest we look to Admin for some of his insight and direction on the 'troll' point.

Most trolls will throw things in the middle of the thread to disrupt and change the subject. Most of the time they try to provoke anger, which people will then retaliate and flame the troller. Troller get a big kick out of people getting angry with them?
Talking about Gracie in this thread is not trolling, in my opinion, because Gracie makes us happy. : )

I guess it's no surprise to all of you that I kind of agree with MRMARK. It seems like every other thread has to do with, or turns into a welcome back for somebody. I have no problem with welcome back or please come back comments but a new thread should be started just for this purpose.

Just saying.

I agree completely with George and MRMARK. This thread started out in the right direction then went totally haywire. If someone wants to go off subject as has been done in this thread and many other. Start a NEW thread.

50% of this thread has nothing what so ever to do with the topic.

[Larry Wilson]

I completely agree with those saying that the topic of this post is-REPORT A POST- by the admin. This is going in Sticky because it should be an info post.

[TOTV Team]

It is encouraged to start a new post if going off topic. The majority of users understand the spirit of this thread. If anyone needs specific clarity or have questions regarding this thread PM or email me at talkofthevillages@gmail.com.
