How is that going to stop the 'retards and trolls' from posting? What are the consequences for people who break the rule, and who is going to enforce it?

I don't understand why the floppy install option gets you so riled up. I happen to have a couple of IBM Thinkpads from the early 2000's, which still work quite well with the exception of unreliable cdrom drives. So I like knowing the floppy option is there.
