Star Party Etiquette?

I plan to attend at least 3 star parties this year in an effort to examine and take a peek thru some larger Dobs.
(the notion of 'try before you buy')

From what I've gathered on other threads, many folks use "Star Party" EPs in order to avoid a potential mishap with a prized Nagler or the like...

as such, would it be considered bad form if I,
given the opportunity to gaze thru another's scope,
brought my own EP instead?

I would appreciate any input, especially from those large Dob owners (or anyone else for that matter) who seem to attract the masses...
