If that's true would you care to share with me your name on ES and we'll see exactly WHY you were banned?
Are you seriously suggesting that the mods over there have NOT banned folks for the most arbitrary of reasons??
If so, try peddling that crapola to somebody who didn't watch, highly amused, a few draft days back, when Herr Ubersturmfuehrer Art ORDERED a poster to post EXACTLY what Herr Ubersturmfuehrer Art told him to, or get banned...
It is to the poster's credit that he took the banning, rather than let that pitiful excuse for a mod get over on him...
Beyond that, I have seen brother Cowboys fans who were even refused the right to REGISTER over there, simply because their choice of online names gave away their allegiances...
From my few experiences over there, ES is a forum where you'd best toe the party line, or you're not gonna last long... it is also a place where truly knowledgeable posters who are capable of analyzing the game without letting their homerism get the best of them are few and far between... I won't say they're nonexistent, I see some of them in most every thread I do wander into, but the vast majority know about as much about football as my freakin' dog does...
And I'm a guy who kinda enjoys a little homerism from time to time... indeed, I find this board WAY too cynical at times... I guess Cowboys fans and Skins fans are just wired differently, but I wouldn't even WANT to post on a board like ES, if I was cursed with being a Skins fan, there HAS to be better, more football knowledgeable boards than that farce... as a matter of fact, I was once a moderator at a board that was rather like ES in that it tended toward Pollyanna Land, and I no longer even post over there (my choice, I wasn't banned or anything)...
Art was always a freakin' joke, but things have gone to h*ll in a handbasket since Danny Boy bought that board out... now, he throws the staff some bones in the form of sideline access during the games and such, and those boys do nothing but fellate him in gratitude...
