On the way up was a bridge over a cascading stream they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly troll , with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker. So first of all came the youngest Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge. "Trip, trap, trip, trap! " went the bridge. "Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll . "Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, with such a small voice. "Now, I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll. "Oh, no! pray don't take me. I'm too little, that I am," said the billy goat. "Wait a bit till the second Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger." "Well, be off with you," said the troll. A little while after came the second Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge. Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap, went the bridge. "Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll. "Oh, it's the second Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, who hadn't such a small voice. "Now I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll. "Oh, no! Don't take me. Wait a little till the big Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger." "Very well! Be off with you," said the troll. But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff . Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him. "Who's that tramping over my bridge?" roared the troll. "It's I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ," said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own. "Now I 'm coming to gobble you up," roared the troll. Well, come along! I've got two spears, And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears; I've got besides two curling-stones, And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones. That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn't fallen off them, why, they're still fat; and so, Snip, snap, snout. This tale's told out. https://pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html But You Should See My Big Brother~! The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalms 18:2 lol~! Fun Stuff~!

It usually only takes a few replies to identify a troll...but not always. Some are more subtle and slow to wind up. The two common things are ego and a desire to hurt people to make themselves feel bigger. I am new to a Christian forum but have been around others and list serves since the beginning--in fact I built and run two forums, but they are invite only and are mostly "moderate your own selves" and it has worked for over 10 years now. I am finding it different at this (a Christian) forum, in that the stakes are higher. There are lies that can literally 'shipwreck' a young in the Lord believer. Not loss of Salvation, but loss of a healthy experience. Such is the way on this earth. So--this being the case, it seems to this individual--that there are times when its important to be a part of the conversation and at other times just let it fizzle out, by not feeding the troll or the one saying things that can harm. I am finding it to be challenging in a way, because we can't bring to bear the same 'tools' for lack of a better way to phrase it. We need to be asking the Lord before we respond and seek to do so in a manner that pleases Him and gets the job done. Make no mistake---this is a work and there are some 'gifted' workers here. Frankly--I have been humbled by such and I give thanks to our Lord. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K9Buck Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 A troll is one who expresses an unpopular opinion. Only popular opinions should be permitted to be expressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
