    That's all I ever do, whilst trying to avoid personal insults, you apparently speak for god, and are fine with designating a persons belief system as corrupt.

    Troll Alert: the only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction to reminding others not to respond to trolls.

    Thanks for the reminder but I just could'nt resist. That particular troll is nearly as self righteous as yourself.

    I try to avoid personal insults as well, but hypocrisy is forbidden.

    We are all free to judge others ideas in a democratic world without fear of retribution.

    "What is a Troll?"

    "An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.

    Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

    Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.

    Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words...." There's more. Bob

    I assumed the experiment was based on holding a discussion on this forum that did not degenerate down the well trodden path to personal invective s, I think that the use of the word 'corrupt' to describe another poster's belief system heralded the end of the experiment.

    In reply you donned your self appointed site moderator's hat and instructed me to 'let it go' and as a result of me not recognising your non existent authority you labelled me a troll. You really do not have the intellectual capacity to debate me or anybody else off this forum, so maybe you should 'let it go' Bobby.

    Yes but the point of the exercise was to judge and challenge others ideas without resorting to a lexicon of insulting negativity.

    I stand by my judgement that this post :-

    "How would you know since the only one you're allowed to read is corrupt"

    From you to galveston75 marked the end of the exercise, if this caused you to fear retribution maybe you should take a Valium before posting on this site because it certainly was not my intention.
