I am also just becoming acquainted with the messy politics of this forum wherein legendary members are engaging in continuous flamewars with one another. It seems there is some sort of ego battle going on based on forum rank.
We have more than 30+ boards on the forum and the politics is mostly been felt on reputation, meta and sometimes scam accusation boards. The boards were actual information is been exchange in regards to questions been answered, learning & teaching isn't affected. Why they argue shouldn't disturb you. Focus on your reason for joining forum which I believe is to learn. You have to understand they're all humans and as humans, there is always a possibility of disagreement, debating and unnecessary argument when two or more individuals comes together.
The politics is kinda interesting if you pay close attention to it. At the end of the day they'll disagree to agree
