if you go back to the 2016 TA and peruse the B&G going forward the above description become quite obvious. Anytime there is a controversial issue within the IPA you will see this play out on the B&G. Very well played by the IPA president!
it works Both ways, as in no matter what the IPA says, they disagree 100%. It’s just the way it is. I would also say the B&G does not represent a majority of people here.
