By the way, the second essay on trolls is priceless! Thanks for posting it.

Yeah, I've only seen one true troll around here. I called him on it, and he hasn't posted since that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the kind words.

No, I don't think you're a troll. I would suggest that you buy a pack of smokes, go to one of those beer gardens over there, and buy one or two of those humongous lagers they sell, and then get laid. It would probably help your overall attitude a lot, but no, I don't think you're a troll.

Not too many, but they exist. Maybe one in a thousand...

Oh, women have testosterone too.

Oh... I thought only males have testosterone... Guess I was wrong then.

All humans have testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. Just different levels according to sex.

*has a testosterone spike* OKAY U DUM BOY TROLLZ?!!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Interesting article. Gives a bit of an insight as to the bald (high testosterone levels linked to hair loss as well), aggressive guys I see at the bar that seem to enjoy beating the hell out of each other more than other bar activities.

matthew, the clever troll that he is himself, has outlined every possible form of disagreement that he might ever encounter so that he may reference this piled high thread anytime he's backed into a corner by someone with a differing opinion and wishes to discredit that individual. you don't fool me, buddy!1

That would be cool. I'll start looking. If you find a good one (with a free-to-use license) post it in this thread.
