They're in soo deep into this that it's become their identity. Acknowledging they've been brainwashed would be earth-shattering to them, so they fight desperately.
Funny enough, this is the exact same kind of behavior that hardcore Christian identity nuts and aggressive vegans demonstrate. It's like trying to convince a Christian that the Bible isn't the word of god. Normally I just leave them alone because they are never going to get it.

Reasons being Jealousy, taking attention away from him, people being more interested in your posts than his, not parroting his or Maxines opinions, etc. This was apparant from his posts and he made little effort in hiding it. So when he got wind that Maxine died and it was his show he wasted little time. Maxine at least I believe saw that it was your articles and research that gave the JOS what credibility it had and the content was keeping activity(and probably more importantly donations) up and made it so she didn't have to post much herself. But Cobra being more the über-ego driven autist that he is didn't care. And it's because of that that the JOS is headed to complete irrelevancy. I've seen someone mention that Cobra is a NEET that lives off his father so it's possible the shekels arn't as important to him, but that could just be exposing JOS tier levels of nonsense. Though It would explain how he has the time to proofread every single post that goes through the forum to watch out for anything that could potentially trigger him.
From what I can tell, JOS started off like a reverse christianity, satanic group, where Maxine would write these really basic sermons talking about "Father Satan loves you" etc etc. Then it started to incorporate NS material. Only later did you start seeing legit, serious occult research, largely from Mageson and a few others. That was when the JOS was in a "golden age", if you could even call it that, as there was legit, good content, despite the nonsense of Maxine and others. Then the RTR emerged, and things slowly started going downhill. Don leaving was really the last straw - he was really propping up the site with real stuff. The only question I wonder is why Don put up with it for so long?
I've suspected something similar from Cobra. Moderating every damn comment is a full-time job.
