I enjoy the eye candy (not Bob Wright), but the whole thing is ridiculous. I don't even understand why they are calling any of the commenters trolls since they are reading the comments out loud and smiling while reading them.
This could actually become erotic. I hope the "trolls" over on bloggingheads sex-up their language.
I would never want to condone troll behavior, or vicious personal attacks, etc but I could only watch a little bit of this because it felt....?creepy.
Why? I'm not sure but maybe its the misunderstanding of the power of the camera. Its one thing to read and comment on other commentors. Its ENTIRELY different to go before the camera and comment/judge. That's the best i can describe it.
Can anything be any more inside baseball than that. Even though I know what they are talking about, (I read a lot of blogs) I just could not listen or even follow it much.
I would like to see a structured discussion of the subject of tolls and comment etiquette. Something about general concepts and not so incident specific.

Something's not right here
Two words:
Beta males.
That's all I'm sayin'. Other than:
The Macho Response.
Robert Wright is a very funny guy and his dog is way cute.
