I hate using really emotive words like 'thug' for plants. Plants are what they are, some are more vigorous than others, but a vigorous plant may be just what you need for your poor soil, so I really don't think it's helpful to apply such emotive terms, they're just not accurate or helpful. I have that Hellebore self seeded in my garden and I really don't think it a problem, have many things in my garden which are much, much more invasive, but still grow them because they are useful one way or another. As for stinking. I've never noticed.

They self seed by the thousand and are a thug. And they stink.

Do they stink? I've never noticed that.
as regards 'thugs' I reckon a lot depends on your gardening style and how much space you have

Alright then, it is a prolific self seeder and has a very robust habit. But it still stinks.
