I see that a couple of antagonists have already moved to the other side and are playing nice. One is a compulsive poster who is really trying hard. The other can't change much, so we'll see.
As entertaining the political forum could be it was always hogtied by the demeanor of too many of the posters. Not that I had not sinned, but the repetitive nature of the threads became tiresome.

I sure a not going to miss all the racism from Baldwin; the femo-fascism crap from bogg99; the constant personal attacks from dirt, allergy, kenswamp, AJ, etc. Will miss the content posts from many others though like Rubicon, Carl in Tampa when on here, Wiotte, and others too many to name.

I bet you cried yourself to sleep last night didn't you?

And I see you have lowered yourself into the swamp. When you have to resort to name calling you've admitted defeat..

Nicknames can be terms of endearment.

Just got back from being away for the holidays.
No political forum? Again? Unspecified period of time?
Dejavu.....same message different admin.....

Apparently the political forum, left active was deemed an impediment to future development....and all the other forums are not; funny how that works.

And on top of that the villages dot com email news is no longer free.
I will not pay to have something that is nothing more that 50% police blotter BS.

I guess I will just have to rely on my other 99.8% reliable sources for news!!
:evil6:

Happy New Year y'all.

Or when they will shut it down? Funny they didn't specify that - wonder why?

In winter I do not venture back to the north and avoid locations that do not support palm tree growth!

UGH - been there before, not fun. Not the best way to start the new year for sure! Hope it gets better and be safe getting back to TV.

If the problem is the ability to keep it anonymous...just make it an opt-in with your normal user name...we're all anonymous anyway.

What's the big deal?

"I agree to have my eyes opened and my feelings hurt"

What's the point of "Guest" when you can quote and get the name anyway.

Just keep it as an "Adults only" "enter at your own risk" opt in section.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The racism you post on here extremely often Don Baldwin offends many people and is a very poor reflection of the Villages. That is one of the problems as is the rampant bullying on the Political Forum as also pointed out by Rubicon, Carl in Tampa and anyone with some degree of empathy.

It is also a juvenile form of debate.
