So. what you’re saying is that these people are trolls, and we should stop feeding them. Sounds good to me. But I don’t think ignoring them on the SDMB will have any significant effect on the rest of the country.

Heh, that’s interesting, so does my Subaru. I’m a bit disappointed, though, being such a small car I thought it would do better than 27 miles per fetus.

You’re a small car? Misplaced modifiers make aborted fetuses cry.
