It's a bit of a shame to see this forum change from a friendly, welcoming place for discussing all things Cobra to a hostile, edgy joint where a stranger wanders in at his own peril. I agree with Turk that certain signals (new poster, controversial topic, etc)should trigger vigilance, but - open hostility??
Maybe the guy and his motives are what some think them to be but to set upon him like he's a lost cat that wanders into the dog pound when we don't know for sure is just not right. It does not look good, guys.
Perhaps we are tired of being referred to as the family channel on other cobra forums and want to try to be mean and tough like they are. While those guys are a ton of fun to watch occasionally, I don't think that it is a good thing to emulate their style here. It doesn't take a very strong man to cuss off some stranger through a computer network, but it does take strength to stick by the principles that you believe in even when others may call you a pansy.
Bobl may be just a sh-t disturber, but though I could easily be wrong, it does not sound that way to me. I simply don't know. Remember, it was a little while back that disclosing our true identities was raised as an issue here (and a few people were strongly opposed). Is it possible that he did not know of this unofficial protocol or simply that he does not agree? If it is to be treated as a hard and fast rule, then it should be enforced and verified as part of the registration process.

Thats enough, Ah say, thats enough from you now, boy so go on back, Ah say go on back to your pee-nee colada before you git your tailfeathers flamed.
