What other gaming forums would you recommend?

I frequent ResetEra just for the insiders. If you post there something that isn't liked by one of the members, be prepared, because he or she won't doubt to let you know. But the problem for me is that they sometimes aren't that polite, they don't have problems saying things like "are you an idiot?", "what a dumb reply". To me, it's a heavy space that is far from being as welcoming as it should be.  

I think that should be let even here. But thats "if" the person "IS" being an idiot i dont see a problem with calling them it.

Why just not choose a non-gaming forum if you want to talk about politics?

So much this. Its the main reason why i backed out of the thread here, cause I'm not coming here for politics. The is plenty of other places for things like that.

It also makes some users here, who would maybe otherwise get on well? not get on so well.

Having politics in a gaming forum is just trowing one more wall between the users on said forum.

Console Wars <--This already has users arguing with each other.

Politics <--  More users fighting.

However i understand the reason for having it. And plenty of users might only be here for that section, i dont know.

So that's why after popping in for a bit i popped straight back out. Its just not what i come here for.

Sure, sure. But it's unfair for the posts that aren't provocative or aren't looking for problems. I say this because it's happened to me three or four times, which is quite a lot for the few posts I have made in the platform. The problem isn't the name calling itself, it's how aggressive the posters can turn very quickly. In general, that's for a very unpleasant experience in the forum.
