I appreciate when people at least make an attempt to hold it back. IMO, it just seems more honorable.
When I attempt to do this there're persistent people who tend to continue bothering me regardless of what I do or say.
Ignore them. Presenting this as a puppet brown townogy, they'll continue to pull at your strings as long as they get a reaction out of you.

I'll just say, that even though I can't vouch for this personally, but that would be really hard to deal with on a regular basis.
