Nah Scrod, you're not a troll, a tad grumpy at times but not a troll

As for the OP's question about brakes. I don't give a stuff about your safety, you make your decisions and you wear your own scars, but you can never stop as quickly without brakes as you can with brakes and that puts other people at risk. Hurt yourself if you like, but if you run into a child because you couldn't stop, you're a prick, not cool, just a low-life prick.
