Will the SDMB show some self restraint and not feed an obvious troll?

Probably not

Why do you consider an appropriate question trolling?

I believe this was explained to you, with examples, when your stupid trolling thread was closed.

In case it’s not obvious to you, most posters here have no problem with thoughtful conservative arguments and are happy to debate them. As long as you keep posting the kind of moronic bullshit I cited **[here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-redux/913349/2660)**, you are in no way worthy of a serious response.

I heard that there was someone here who was bragging about being 4’6", has the kick ass scooter shown below and a t-shirt that says “Fuck me. No really, fuck me” in a beautiful sequin pattern. While that’s impressive as hell, it’s the internet, so it might not be completely true.

There’s a real market for those fold-up portable scooters. Folks take them in light airplanes, on houseboats, and in RVs to wherever and can then get around quickly and easily.

Hey, guys. I have whoever made the reply above snfaulkner’s on ignore for some reason. Probably for being a troll. Someone let me know if I missed something good. By which I mean not just a total dumbass spouting off for attention, as trolls will often do.
