Seems impossible to have a debate about any issue other then games on this message board without it getting closed due to immature responses with personal and racial insults.

Level of intelligence of some remarks amazes me given what I expect to be the average age of people contributing to this message group to be in the mid 30's.

Just because it's an internet message board dosn't mean someone might not find remarks extremley insulting. I think it reflects badly on the person making the remarks and the community in a whole.

I think if you count the people responsible there are a handful of 'usual suspects' that make it so.

Dare I say it, it's a case of the minority wrecking it for the rest of us. Oh, look a reflective microcosm!

US designations for Soviet planes were usually not flattering.

Yup, Tu-22 and Tu-22M.  I also remeber the Blackjack that looked suspiciously like a B-1.
