Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

I get through it by assuming these people didn't make it a point to have these opinions and just came upon them while being questioned

That's probably true for the vast majority of people asked. Imagine just getting a mail/email asking you "Ancient Sparta: like, dislike, or don't know?"

How do you feel about the Phonecian government around 1000BC? Do you agree with King Ahirom's foriegn policy? How about their colonizing Cyprus, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, Sicily, and Malta, as well as the fertile coasts of North Africa and the mineral rich Iberian Peninsula?

Fricking idiot, Ahirom was never titled a king, that title was first used by his son King Pilsibaal the First. How embarassing that you're proud to show off your lack of understanding of Phoenician history. I imagine you're so ignorant you still think King Pilsibaal is called Ithobaal!

This is unironically kind of how a lot of people talk on history and especially military history forums, although generally on such forums there's not so much use of profanity. Hardcore history and wargaming buffs really live up to their title of grognards, grumblers, although apparently that term originated in the RPG community. I fricking love random forums where the same 20 or so people contribute 90% of the content, and they've all been arguing witrh each other for 10 years, and you can basically tell who wrote any given post just by reading the first couple of sentences, without even having to look at the poster's name.

Wargaming nerds were calling themselves grognards in the early 1990s. Did you even read Computer Gaming World, bro?

On further reading, it seems that you are right. The term grognard was being used by warg*mers even before D&D was invented, and the RPG community took the term from warg*mers. Indeed, RPG tabletop gaming emerged from wargaming.

I can't say for sure who invented it, but it was popularized by Alan Emrich. The same guy who invented the term 4X.
