Anyone remember a sim that divided us as much as COD?

One of the bigger ones I can remember was the release of Flanker 2.0. I was at Combatsim at the time and there were battles going on that were mostly Flanker vs. Falcon arguments. Whats my point? Not sure I have one really...just seems different here and the battle has been going on longer than some real wars.

It's my first real "war" between haters and fanboys on a Flightsim-board, that's for sure, but it's not the first war in general. Having played MMO's for many years, I'm quite used to rabid muppets on each side of the fence (usually between PvP'ers and PvE'ers/RP'ers). Hell, I might even have fired off a broadside or two myself.

The war here could be solved quite easily by the introduction of a peacekeeping-force with the right to execute any transgressors. Sooner or later they'd run out of muppets, but it takes a rather nasty toll on the population
