we're here
you wanna hear a story?
we live in a world
where society has poisoned the souls of men
they hover over us like a dark cloud
we can't do nothing bout it though
'cause we're just everyday workin' people
those in power
they get down on their hands and knees to talk to us
and they proclaim their lies
and whisper secrets to each other 'bout what's best
but see
we normal folk
we got secrets of our own
like what's gonna happen
when we decide it's time
when we decide to walk upright
what are you gonna do then?
oh i know the answer
you're gonna run and hide
but we're comin'
send us your rejects and broken souls
just don't send anyone you want to come back
when they see the face of fear
they never come back
anywhere mary went
the lambs were sure to go
but not to slaughter
no
to prosperity
we're here

Ok people this thread is about the post the other day about the 2016 future recruits and some comments that were made. I’m not going to go into depth because I don't want to be banned my self. It's on the main page if you choose to go look.
The posters that made some "different" comments they were banned. Some of the posters were part of another Michigan blog called Wolverine Liberation Army otherwise known as WLA. Brian said the posters were already on thin ice due to previous issues with postings.
Brian made a post yesterday about those comments and the effects they had on a recruit.
(The recruit is perfectly fine and is hopefully still going to visit Michigan)
This thread was started by a fellow WLA member trying to say as Geaux_Blue said it, "a passive aggressive ominous post to be clever"
I could be wrong but, I am pretty sure this is what this is….

You make it sound like a damn cult.... oh... wait. Yeah, maybe.

I don't find it particularly passive or aggressive. I think it's cute, actually. Also clever, fun, and nostalgic.
Seems partly inspired by dada principles of shaking up the establishment by being silly, as well as Kesey/Further inspired principles of "freaking out the squares" (i.e., newer blog patrons who weren't around for the wackiness and irreverance of the early days of the blog). I'm sure part of it is also ego gratification and a reminder to Brian that they do still have a following and some "power," whatever that means in the blogosphere.
In any case, I planned on going to sleep 1 hr ago before I got sucked into reading this thread. It was worth it, especially if it gets deleted tomorrow.

A few years ago....I lost 40 MGO points on a thread where I criticized B Cissoko for his off the field arrests. All of the blue bloods here were angered with my post. Let me take this opportunity to ask you this: Guess who was fucking right? Please restore my 40 worthless MGO points. Yes, I am still mad about this. Haha..................................... Another thing, I read the 300 something posts in this thread. This WLA posse sounds like a bunch of bitch ass clowns. If these were some of the guys that Brian banned, then Brian is a damn genius.

I fear we are jumping the shark folks. Plan accordingly
September 26th, 2013 at 12:36 AM ^
I use ad block so Brian can't get any money because all he cares about is money and generating clicks.
September 26th, 2013 at 2:31 AM ^
You're doing it wrong. The only way to defeat mgoblog is to start lulz threads that entertain people and generate 10,000 page views.
September 26th, 2013 at 7:27 AM ^
your regularly scheduled, sanitized scheduling.
Dirk, turn out the lights.
September 26th, 2013 at 7:39 AM ^

You do realize you just volanteerily joined this colossas circle jerk, don't you?
I just wanted to point that out.
September 26th, 2013 at 9:55 AM ^
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal
to
the
Love
You make.

If you think about the entire reason for a blog and user participation is entertainment. And say what you wll about the WLA dudes - they are VERY entertaining. I havent looked forward to reading comments in a thread as much as this one in a long time.
Well technically that's not entirely true. I also looked forward to reading Brian's angry thread to see who else might have been MgoExecuted during the great user cleansing of 2013.
September 26th, 2013 at 11:17 AM ^
Just myself, chitown, DfW, and Butterfield.
September 26th, 2013 at 11:26 AM ^
I'm sorry that happened to you guys. I may not have agreed with all your thoughts but I did enjoy debating them with you. For what it's worth I never had an issue with you or anyone else personally.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

this was awesome...
i might not have any idea what half of it is saying, but this is cool nonetheless...
i also like the part where all the wla guys are said to be whimpy guys lviing in their mom's basements...
