I disagree, trolls look like monsters and behave in an uncivilized (by human reconning) manner BUT they are people (the people of Darkness).

I personally didn't find it offensive (just the later bit when you were actively trying!).

You've got it.

I think you understand why I won't delve too deep here.

I totally disagree, the threat of the unknown (but with vague nasty rumours) is much worse. Think about it, the Vadeli are thought to be so horribly nasty that the Brithini tried to wipe them out. Now it appears that they failed?!?!? The Vadeli are rumoured to eat their babies and worse! Do you really want to meet one?
However, you are entitled to YOG so I'm quite happy for you to express your views here, but some things do not need too much gory detail...
