Good observation.
I originated the term "posse" on NFCF for this particular pack.
The term was then misused and perverted (which was certainly their right) to mean they were a group of knights in shining armor; Roy Rogers, Randolph Scott, Tell Sackett, The Lone Ranger and those guys riding in splendid glory.
Going strictly by their posting habits and styles I peeved some folks by correcting this misconception.
The "posse" was more a group of bewhiskered dry gulchers and rogue outlaws who banded together basically ganging up on newbies and "women and children" but who either just disappeared back into the gulches and ravines or who went whining to board administrators when faced with someone who could give as much or more guff back to them as what they thought they dished out.
