If you don't want to engage with and feed your trolls, simply ignore them. Now I know some of us find that hard to do, so the forum has provided a very handy tool to help out. You can select members whose posts will not appear when you visit ClubCobra.com. This is called the IGNORE function. Here's a link describing it and how to use it: Link

My hope is that the trolls who are ignored will find this forum less interesting and go elsewhere to stir up trouble. If not, then maybe most of us here are trolls in one way or another.
Given that NewYorkGuy appears to be on CC for the sole purpose of 'stirring things up', I found his posts were just getting in the way, taking up my time, and adding no value - classic troll.

I added NYG to my 'ignore' list a few weeks ago and haven't missed his drivel one little bit.

YMMV
