Either way in the link I posted previously the study examines around 50 papers on the topic. The risks lesson when castration is done later (after full maturity) _but_ are not completely eradicated.

I took the time to read the studies you posted because I was interested and I thought they were worth discussing.
What is the point of posting them if you aren't prepared to discuss them?

We usually make these decisions based on past experiences, or the conduct displayed in the thread we're in - sometimes we just determine that we do not enjoy discussing things with certain people or that they deserve any of our time. That could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps we think we're just banging our heads against a brick wall? Or we think they are a troll-ish, rude or unreasonable person. Or just someone who lacks the maturity and etiquette we expect in a serious debate. (As per our DGs)
Or we could just not have time (or the inclination) to reply to every post

Good to know you think I'm not worth replying to, I shall refrain from wasting my time in the future.

I think it possibly means there is no answer to the questions posed.
Strange discussion forum where someone posts and can't back it up and won't discuss
Especially when that person is the owner of the forum!
