Mr/Ms moderator,
I did a search of the forums and found 17 pages of threads where the Daily Sun was mentioned out of context.I did not find one where that(The Sun) was the main topic but I did give up after 5....Within those threads there were many many pages of differing opinions and subject matter...Not once where I could find was the question of off topic mentioned by the moderator..Is this new?? thanks for your service...

I am not the moderator but I don't understand what you mean by "mentioned out of context". The Daily Sun is mentioned all of the time. Once someone says "I read it in the Daily Sun", 50% start bashing the Daily Sun and the other 50% praise the Daily Sun. It is no different that a praise or complaint about a restaurant.

Personally I think that the Daily Sun is MUCH MUCH better than it was in 2001 when I moved here. It still does not carry much of the bad news in the areas. That is why I get the Orlando Sentinel. (This is where the Orlando Sentinel lovers/haters get to chime in.)

I disagree. Robbery by definition is a violent crime, burglary isn’t. And since the title of this thread (Robbery) implied a violent crime in TV when apparently, it was appropriate for PJOHNS2654 to suggest the correction.

topic??
 
My point was the moderator chose this post to bring out the fact I was off topic my mentioning the Sun..I agree with you there is a myriad of posts all over the place regarding the sun, Yet my post was the one called out...I don't understand the logic...Maybe it was the comment "fair and balanced"...a

The sun is a good feel good paper with a lot of info regarding The Villages..Is it slanted? Absolutely..It is what it is and I like it too..

I am thinking just maybe you have a case of obvious deficit disorder. Your referring to The Sun as The Sun P**** that for more than one reason is false and unacceptable to many for different reasons.

I would like to thank you for being here because Mother AKA Moderator now has you to keep him/her busy.

What the Heck?
 
Let me get this straight. Some fill their time in by attacking and re attacking the use of "Robbery" over "Burglary" after the writer (me) responded almost immediately to correct the term. And while this total waste of time is going on there is an attack on the "Moderator" becasue he/she allows reference to to the newspaper regarding the reporting of the incident. Another total waste
of the writers time since reporting of the news is important if it is/is not referred to in an article how would it ever be discussed? One time there was a great movie titled "12 Angry Men". Are we seeing XX number of angry men since these "attacks" are a total waste of time. As I recall no one is forcing anyone to read a note in TOTV so if someone does not like the content, etc. for goodness sake go to another note. :bowdown:

This thread is about a burglary.....

Please try to stay on topic.

I think the mention of the Daily Sun as to wether the burglary was or was not reported is relevant to the thread about the burglary.
In particular to those who immediately question why something is not reported the next day after a happening. I call that Daily Sun bashing...................

Yep, me too. I like my Happy Paper. After listening to the news on TV, the Happy Paper is nice to read.
