Well I learned something new this morning. What a 'troon' is. Seen it around but never bothered to Google it until now, and Urban Dictionary gave me a great introduction to it.

BTW, I don't think there's anything particularly mindless about the middle as long as you're not afraid to take a stand. Yeah, no resolution is going to land *squarely* in the middle. But often the truth, and the resolution lies on both sides.
