The TOTV's Political Forum seemed quite tame when you compared it with some of the other forums that talk about politics and the Villages. Check out the usually very nasty attacks on the Orlando Sentinel board whenever they have an article about the Villages.

They do not even seem to require PG language.

It is another guest speaker of a certain genre. Please advise us on this mod and admin.

I don't like crowds or I might go take a peep at him to say I did if he should attain his goal.

admission to the area starts around 7:30am with appearance scheduled for 10am - so you might have to take a very long way around to get to your hairdressers! if you did get to sneak a peak - i bet you'd like his mom who will be joining him at the rally!

is wisconsin that far from ohio?

wow - I think admin has created a two headed monster with this - maybe you should open the Polical Forum so these posts calm down. Personally I think the censorship just plain "sucks"!!! Sorry if my language offends you.

Does Mom really live there?

I for one do believe this thread has been pretty well worked.

I think I have said my piece/opinion.

So now off to landscape or travel to see if there is any excitement there to help while away the time until the political forum comes back.

Remember if you do not like it...do not go there....because some of us are prone to asking questions!!.....and opinions are NEVER denied!!!!!

I said passionately that I didn't like to read the political forum, it was way toooooo much for me, but now that I have thought about it, I know how passionately we seniors feel about this area. And how much they like to talk and debate and argue. I think it should be brought back. I just won't read it. I am a wuss.

I ask that the administrator rethink this and reeinstate the political forum.

Did the Admin or owner of TOTV ever state why he was doing away with the political forum?

He told me that it was, now this is not a quote, too much time spent moderating or something along those lines. Here is his/her response.


"What happened is that people can't treat other people with respect and it is taking too many hours a day to monitor".

So hopefully yall get to see this before it goes poof.

Was that said to you by the Admin in a private message/email?

I can understand the moderator's concern that he/she has to monitor the political forum 24/7. That could probably be categorized as cruel and unusual punishment.

So if this a big reason for suspending the forum, I would suggest the moderator try one of the following experiments:

1) Allow the political forum to function without any monitoring, or

2) Open the forum for specific daily hours scheduled at the discretion of the moderator.

In either case it is also reasonable for the moderator to establish rules which may lead to 'disciplinary action'.

Good ideas....the last concerning RULES and DISCIPLINE, to me, are the most vital ! Even if the rules and violations are done with the total discretion of the administrator which would be acceptable to me.
