The matter has been debated before.
This site is a political site, Max has granted them the right to voice their opinions provided they do so in a civilised manner.

Looks like it was in the wrong forum there. General is the place to bitch about the Nazis.

Could have been the content of your post too (a little flamey)

You don't post stuff which is aimed to provoke. If you want to say something, say it in a civil and rational manner.

Posting something like 'All _____ suck' is flamebait, because it will provoke people to flame in response to it.
Flaming is basically insulting other players.

Try to phrase it in a more civil manner, and back up your points.
