He pretty much told me that I am single handily bringing down the resale market with my comments/opinion.

As such, I started this thread on all three of the larger Cobra forums to get others opinions as to whether it is ethical for me/us to educate a potential buyer as to what is or what is not a good deal.

I read your "other forum" post. Saw nothing offensive. That other forum is easily riled and fiercely protective of their marque. I've been chastised as well. I've owned one of their kits and the build quality goes from atrocious to perfection. Buyers definitely need to be educated about the various makes so that they can make wise purchases.
You've always expressed your thoughts in a non threatening manner and have helped numerous owners fix or diagnose problems as well as evaluate their purchases.
I know the moderator that chastised you and he's a good guy and a very loyal soldier.
