But again, that is just my personal opinion and I'm probably in the minority.

My opinion is that behavior in these forums not only reflect the individual, it also reflect the overall community. If a newcomer comes in and sees these types of ad hominem attacks on another member; and sees that not only are these types of behavior tolerated but also condoned, what would that say about this young community?
Knowledge about this car is still in its infancy, there is still yet lots to learn. Why not share with the community? It'll only help foster a more knowledgable consumer base, which in turn generates better customers, and everybody wins.
If the owner(s) of this site feels these types of non-constructive, personal attacks are acceptable, that is his/her/their prerogative. But I wouldn't hang around here anymore and would definitely steer friends away from this community. I wouldn't treat anyone I meet this way, why would I be a schmuck online?
John, you have tuned a lot of FRS/BRZs. Your knowledge is valuable, and we know it (as do you). I have no clue who you are, as I'm sure you don't know who I am. But browsing through this thread, I didn't see that you have anything constructive to say while keeping up with the personal attacks. I'm not sure where all the hostility comes from, but it's obvious from my end there is some enmity between you and Bob. For his part, Bob posted what I feel to be useful information regarding the slight anomaly in the stock tune at high RPMs. I'm relatively familiar with Subarus and it appears stock tuning for the FRS/BRZ isn't that different, strategy-wise, from turbo Imprezas. While you kept up with the personal attacks and not giving back to the community.
That's really all I want to say. I do hope moderators and owner(s) take a look at what sort of community they want to foster and take a stand about how they'd want it to be.
