Trolls who Flame Bait, be on guard.......
hillsbororiver:
Every now and then we get someone who makes their first post or one of their very first few posts a topic that is very controversial or has the potential to cause emotional responses. This is a time when discernment, patience and caution should be prayed for and exercised. Be on guard!
Troll
(v.) (1) To deliberately post derogatory or inflammatory comments to a community forum, chat room, newsgroup and/or a blog in order to bait other users into responding.
(2) To surf the Internet.
(3) To hang around a chat room reading the posts instead of contributing to the chat. (No problem with this at all)
(n.) One who performs any of the above actions.
In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, most often in the form of posting inflammatory, off-topic, or otherwise inappropriate messages. (Wikipedia)
Flame Bait
A subject posted to an Internet group that is designed to produce an emotional reaction and start a flame war.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

:) :)Dear Joe,
As a newbe never having been on a forum in my entire life until now (BT's), please email me personally and let me know if I have and if I ever do cross that line; as I am here for 'truth only'. I am open to a gentle rebuke if I am ever shown that I am in error. Thanks for what you are doing, it takes a dedicated and special person. I appreciate that we are blessed with Godly moderators, ::)I 'm sure it isn't easy at times.

Joe,
I feel that I may have crossed the line with my post concerning circumstances in the now locked Saddam thread.
I realize now that I could have presented my view point better.
Please accept my apologies, as I clearly knew that I was going to cause dissent. This is clearly wrong, regardless of the motive or intent.
Thanks for the reminder. :)
Love,
Darren

I caught that the other day and lifted the matter up to prayer. Trolls ( "wolves" ) can lead the young'ins (in the Lord) astray, in doubt, caught in a trap, confused, etc. I'm so thankful for you bringing this out in the open, but yet discreetly, and wisely. This is just one of the "things" we need to be careful of....until He comes....because it's an old tool of the enemy and will always be used as long as we're on the earth.
Longhorn...you make me laugh every time.....I too, have an "x" and thoughts like that come up alot. This guy was and still is truly a mental, psycho, case.....and I'm not kidding one bit. The Lord truly brought me out of so much, but I'm now at the "stage" where I can kinda josh about things concerning him. Yet out of all the "evil, lies, abuse, etc"....I did, and still do, pray for (about) him. But, if he comes and rings the doorbell, I sure ain't gonna be answering it.....lol
