Regarding the comments made by TheSatyr:

I have been hanging around the Battlefront.com forums for years (more of a lurker than a poster), and while the folks there are fantastically knowledgeable about WWII history they are also prone to having giant pissing matches...

There have been numerous threads about the use of swastikas in games that degenerated into political arguments complete with name-calling - heck, I have seen several threads where debates over the relative merits of German vs. Allied tanks wound up as insult-fests. Having said that, part of the culture at Battlefront.com is to debate issues in a somewhat belligerent manner, so if you hang around there that's what you get... It can be fun at times.

I would say that overall this forum (although less serious in tone) has way less stupid fights and dumbass behaviour than Battlefront.com. As a long-time member of both forums I thought I would chuck in my $0.02...
