Which one best defines the OP and her style of communicating here?I guess some people troll and others insist on just being difficult.
I'm not a Christian, but I get the point. Good advice.I thought this was good advice I should try to heed, as well as to pass along...we should remember whom we represent, no matter where we are...
"Therefore, whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory." 1 Corinthians 10:31

If you don't like it, you need not be posting in it.Which one best defines the OP and her style of communicating here?
I'd go with BOTH.
We can only do so much and then it becomes such a thing as beating a dead horse...if Jehovah doesn't make it grow, no one can...How can you grow if you avoid a problem? "It isn't the healthy that need a doctor."
I might like it if she'd put some effort into it.If you don't like it, you need not be posting in it.
I thought so, glad you liked it...I'm not a Christian, but I get the point. Good advice.
I see it as just an ugly name some people call other people. You're a racist, you're leftist, you're a troll.Problem is defining a Troll.
Those who call other folks trolls may well be ones themselves, so debate is of no interest to them.I see it as just an ugly name some people call other people. You're a racist, you're leftist, you're a troll.
Debate tends to fall apart when we call names.
I try to use the language of my debate partner, as much as possible. If he wants to talk about evil, I'll use the word 'evil' when communicating with him.I also find it disingenuous that people who state that they don't believe in anything spiritual use spiritual moral terms like 'good & evil.'
It's awfully easy to convince yourself that you're ignoring a guy because he's a troll... when actually he is just a better debater, and you don't know how to answer his arguments.Isn't that running away from the problem instead of confronting it in a graceful manner?
But a propagandist will say the same thing, yes?We can only do so much and then it becomes such a thing as beating a dead horse...if Jehovah doesn't make it grow, no one can...
Was Noah unsuccessful, even though no one but his own family listened to him? No, of course not...he was successful because he was obedient...he did just so...But a propagandist will say the same thing, yes?
If he can't successfully preach his truth, he stops engaging.
I feel sure there was no Noah and no worldwide flood.Was Noah unsuccessful, even though no one but his own family listened to him? No, of course not...he was successful because he was obedient...he did just so...
"And Noah did according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so." Genesis 6:22
So, why are you in theology?I feel sure there was no Noah and no worldwide flood.
And I think lots of people are obedient to gods they make up in their heads.
To argue for the One True God and against all the fake Ones.So, why are you in theology?
If someone cant be civil to me, whether discussing a hot button topic or last years football, i have no need to have further discourse with themIsn't that running away from the problem instead of confronting it in a graceful manner?
Dunno....not looking for the answers here on a debate board thoughHow can you grow if you avoid a problem? "It isn't the healthy that need a doctor."
Some people come to forums like this to learn. We can't do that if we refuse to engage.My father would have categorized it as stopping a major fight before it ever happened....one of his major life lessons that i heed still today 50+ years later
Written debate is the best way I've ever found, so far as learning stuff. (And, yeah, I have a college degree.)Dunno....not looking for the answers here on a debate board though
Some are too negative and bitter to engage even on the lightest of topics. That is still no need to ignore them. I see it as case studies. How far are they willing to go? It is up to me to observe and keep on smiling.Some people come to forums like this to learn. We can't do that if we refuse to engage.
I learned a lot, even from those with whom I disagree most often.Dunno....not looking for the answers here on a debate board though
Yeah, one can learn a whole bunch about the human mind in a place like this. I wouldn't think of putting anyone on Ignore. It's too much fun to watch them.Some are too negative and bitter to engage even on the lightest of topics. That is still no need to ignore them. I see it as case studies.

That is some angry stuff.Christian Internet Troll:
1) one who bombards threads and members (regardless of faith) with cut-n-paste bible verses
2) one who bombards threads and members (regardless of faith) with cut-n-paste paragraphs from highly cult-like organizations
3) one who bombards threads and members (regardless of faith) with cut-n-paste biblical memes
4) one who posts sanctimonious, snide, and arrogant comments
5) one who insists most other christians are "wrong"
6) one who insists those who "don't get it, must not be smart enough to get it"
7) one who insists they themselves know exactly what god/jehovah means and thinks
Is that a good start to the defining of Christian Internet Trolls @Elora ?
