Thwak wrote me out a page in Trollish:

*To a Troll, honor is more important than life. Do try to keep this in mind. Bragging is an important social activity for making friends. Don't assume you know why I do what I do. If you want to know why, ASK!*

I suppose he has a point--I should have asked him, and I should be much better about controlling my temper... but really, telling people they are useless just because they are smaller is childish and stupid.  Of course, he is a child--11 years old, and not likely to live more than 11 more.  That's so odd.

And now he appears to have made it less than one more.
