I guess we should just remove the hamas faction, as they are anti-isreal, and therefore antisemitic.
Last time I checked Hamas agree to the two state settlement with the 67 borders.
And being anti-zionist isn't the same as being antisemitic.

This is not supposed to be discussed in general discussion but since your post was left unchallenged I guess a short reply wont hurt either ;-)

How about we, as a community, just be mature.

There's a reason I hate playing on gaming services outside of PR/Tactical Gamer: Immaturity. I've heard enough dirt come out of young players' mouths to fill a few hundred mud pits. I don't want to see or hear any of this sort of behavior. I'm thoroughly disheartened when I see a perfectly good gaming environment go to shambles over someone's idiotic attitude and ignorant actions.

Don't be ignorant enough to make your squads these stupid names. Don't spout abrasive comments over allchat. Don't offend others intentionally. Don't cause trouble for a server admin to have to clean up. Most of us are big boys now, and we can handle ourselves against simple jokes and busting each others' chops. That's fine. You cross the line when you start provoking people with directed insults.

It's funny how people get offended by names like these, but not offended by a WAR game where you pretend to KILL human beings :)

To me "LOL Jews" is as "offensive" as "Hallal Snackbar". If you are offended by this, you should clearly not be playing PR. Then again some retards make the game less enjoyable simply by spamming the chat with racist comments... Admins, don't hesitate to ban people by CD key !
