    What is up with the mods on that page?

    Like tyrants completely removing anything that doesn't fit their Michael D loving,left wing,PC agenda and banning anyone who they literraly don't like the look off. Surely a freedom of expression should be allowed from all involved provided it's not racist,discrimination etc

    It is where AH mods go when they ascend.

    This is untrue. Former AH mods look for a quiet life.

    ISF has a well recognised bias. If you don't like, go elsewhere.

    It's literally their group, not some public service. If you don't like it set up your own page

    Christ. You're actually whinging about mods on a Facebook page devoted to posting pictures of the Simpsons?

    Wish I had so little to worry about.

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what ‘it’ was, and now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me.

    In this thread: people who haven't a clue what they're talking about. I however was a member - it was brilliant but then politics and nastiness took over so I left.

    You could say that about anywhere - it's Ireland Simpsons Fans, not the "Ireland Simpsons Fans with hardline republican views, anti English bigotry (one English guy was bullied out of the place), Soviet style communism praising, and losing their sh1t if anyone even politely disagrees" page.

    "Ireland Simpsons Fans" implies inclusion - of Ireland's Simpsons Fans. They need to change it to the No Individuals Slightly Right Of The Left club (they can have just one) and be done with it.

    I won't post on a message board that robs men of the right to marry their cousins!

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    It's ironic to gatekeep content in a Simpsons meme group and be so anti-satire where it does not conform to their thinking on certain matters. A scan of Facebook profiles which comment against a particular photo (together with likes of such comments) indicates that the guys are crusty, virgin types and the girls are scruffy, shout-the-loudest, daddy issues types.

    It was always political and left from the start, one of the admins was a students union president, there was just no right whingers there for the first year, so it escaped a lot of people's notice up until they gradually started filtering in when the page really took off.

    Right Whingers and Left Whingers. That should be the official descriptions.

    Yeah I'm not seeing how being political from the start negates what I said. It got much much MORE political. I was a member for nearly two years so I could see this. And you hardly need to be a right-winger/right-whinger to see how utterly hostile and aggressive and intolerant the place became. They don't even tolerate people who are left of centre. It's hardline leftist politics (some of which is fanatical) or bust. The last straw for me was someone posting Ireland should be like the Soviet Union and some guy downplaying Stalin's purges.
