When the same people are going back n forth, as they are the only ones posting, they would be better off meeting someplace in person to have their discussion rather then boring everyone

I also like a good debate but still looking for folks that tell the truth and fact check, which is a rarity these days.

The signal to noise is very poor, and most threads are off topic by the fith post. Often by the same people/trolls.

So I'm reducing time here and about ready to stop posting, maybe not visiting all together.

That would never happen, sadly, many people are cowards and only get brave with the anonymity and safety that the internet provides

EDIT: FWIW, I enjoy this place and have gotten a lot of good info from it

While I don't reply often, I usually reply when I seen someone posting misinformation. Just to be clear, misinformation does not arise because I disagree with a personal position. Rather, misinformation is a statement of "facts" that have no basis in any substantiated publication - for science that is an article from a refereed journal. For nonscience subjects, it means that several responsible news outlets are in agreement with the facts.

I read everything from the NY Times to the New Republic so I hope to hear multiple positions on an issue. What I don't do is to blindly follow any given leader, talking head, etc. BTW, the more I learn, the more I am amazed how our elected leaders of both parties can't figure out how to reach/listen across the aisle to create much stronger legislation that would help us all.

Between the coffee posts and the COVID posts, this forum is becoming un bearable.

(BTW, no on is changing anyone’s mind on masks or vaccines)

Is this a privately/independently owned and operated forum or one of The Villages' communication and information platforms ?

The salesman's posts on reverse mortgages (a few months ago) were worse but, yes, I agree.

I've been saying exactly this from day 1 of Covid. Doesn't matter what is said, especially on social media, No one is going to change their minds regarding Covid, but, I guess, some folks just like to argue, or, try to prove to others how intelligent they think they are. Just MHO.
