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.

Thanks Tommy. I've always wondered how to use that feature and never took the time to investigate it. Used it today and I must say it is wonderful. I normally don't allow myself to get sucked into those threads but sometimes I am better at stepping back than others. This is a great feature.

Thx again,

Ed
