What happened to that ES poster?

It's my nickname for BGO. It's the political party The Gang formed on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The motto was "reason shall prevail."

 

BGO sold itself as the calm, intelligent, rational alternative to this place. Within a week, every thread was just McD5 or whatever that loon's name was and Sarge yelling at each other.

 

I checked that the BG Obsession website yesterday.  They don't even have a sub-forum for political discussion. Maybe they did at the time, but one of the mods said something on there about not having one, and not wanting to make one because there was no demand for it. That was in a thread where they were discussing the demise of ES back a couple months ago when this website was shut down for like 24 hours. Seems like there's a few former ES members there that are regulars.

It never had one, because the Taigate sowed division and "reason shall prevail!"

 

Also, they welcomed Sarge with open arms.

 

From what I can tell, every topic is started by Boone and every third post is by Boone. So if you need Boone's up to the second opinions on every possible issue related to the Commanders, I've got the message board for you.

They struggled with having a forum for it for the first couple years or so but gave up on trying to manage it according to what I read there back at the time. I haven't visited the site myself though for many years.

 

Some of the former ES members, mainly far right wing types who were often constantly posting on politics, and who couldn't conduct themselves by the rules here, actually started to get appropriately flagged for violations and predictably got very pissy about their "freedoms" being "oppressed" by "biased" moderating and looked to return to their glory days in what they figured would be their new safe space.

 

But some equally bubbly lefties went at them and it all became more than the mods there wanted to deal with. 

 

So they just eliminated discussion of those topics entirely.

I guess every man needs to be able to step back and take and do a bit of self analysis from time to time.  I find that the more contradictory evidence a person is presented with, the harder they attempt to defend their position.  Basic survival instincts at play.  At least for those that have any goddamn testosterone left in their veins.

Or mob rule.
