    I wish I had more time to debate the troll, but John Takeshi showed up at EF today, and his troll fu is deep and requires much attention. Between that and the UFC, I'm all booked up tonight.

    Yeah, man, I was trying to be ironic or something. I guess since Ron hasn't put me on his ignore list yet, it's not clear what I think of his claims; but earlier this week he made some condescending...
