I personally don't care who they are here at the cafe. If someone is writing merely to cause trouble, for the sake of trouble, outside of being banned, you have some choices to make.

As far as trolls in the scriptures, I think most people at one time or another have dealt with trolls like Judas Iscariot, I know I have. Trolls like the ones in Nehemiah who came against him and tried to stop the building of the temple and the ministry that he was trying to build, resorting to lies, persecution, destructive means of stopping the building so that they had to physically guard the work area, writing to the king in an attempt to stop Nehemiah from building, I can currently relate to in a very real and personal way. What is worse, these people attend some church or other and probably believe themselves to be Christian. I think of that verse in Matthew? (I don't have my bible with me at the moment), where the Lord Jesus states, "There will be some who think that to kill you they are doing the work of God." This would be like Saul before he converted, a very devout Jew but nevertheless very wrong. I'm facing these too, right now. I keep on praying for them, but will admit sometimes I just want justice done. If not here, then in the heavenly court with the Lord and King, Jesus presiding on the bench.
I am chuckling Waysider as I post this. Not to make fun, oh, no. I thought it funny, why out of the blue, you would ask me this. My husband is 3 1/2 years older than I. Are you trollin' on me? Laugh now, laugh...considering the topic.
An internet troll is not part of the community they are trying to stir up. Their only point in being there is to cause trouble--they are not making friends, or sharing common experiences. They are acting out of distain and dislike for the community, they do not respect the others posting. They 'win' by causing as much confusion, hard feelings and chaos as possible, and they like to keep the focus on themselves.
Kimberly--here is a pretty good basic computer skills site if you would be interested in such a thing:
So what is a troll in computer language? I understand it in mythology.
A troll can look a little like grumpy, behave sometimes like a bumpy, rhyme like an illiterit monkey and dress a little frumpy...
I'm not completely sure myself? But it does sound a bit WayBrained because no one has ever really seen one in the flesh. Sort of like a purple cow? I never hope to see one, but I can tell you any how, I'd rather see one than be one.
(Folks might want to check what's left of their 401k retirement lunch bag. Inflation, stagnation, depreciation, etc.,may affect freshness?)

Like I stated on the computer thread I am barely a hair above computer illiterate. I don't even know how to copy and paste.

Hiya, kimberly
Are you familiar with the expression "pushing someone's buttons"?
That's what trolls do. Either to get a predictable response and stir the pot or to get a piece of information they are lacking.
Get the picture?
By the way, is your husband older or younger than you?
