Personally I see nothing wrong with offensive names. If you ban one offensive name, then why not ban ANY potentially offensive name? Personally, the squad name "Fat Drunk Bastards" offends me greatly, but I don't let it bother me--because the people who thought up the name weren't trying to be offensive. I certainly don't want to see that name banned because I happen to think it's utterly tasteless.
The Aces High community--with constant flamewars like this one--is what drove me away from this game like a week after I first subscribed to it. This childish whining--which is as prevalant in the game as in these boards--totally ruins the game for me. I went back to Air Warrior, which is definately an inferior game, just to avoid this pointless and destructive mud-slinging. Calling each other "dweeb" and "hacker" is about the worst that happens in AW. Not so here.
If you don't like something, deal with it. Don't squeak and moan and cry loudly so as to upset everyone around you. THAT is offensive to all.
"Waffen SS" won't keep me out of AH. "Fat Drunk Bastards" won't keep me out of AH. A squad named "I raped and tortured 4 niggaz before pissing on a Star of David" would not cause me to avoid AH although I might puke at the thought of seeing it.
This pitiful flaming and arguing and complaining is what will keep me away. Calm down already! It's not real life, its only a game! Sheesh! Play it, don't dictate how others play it.
