Have you ever heard the phrase, “Don’t Feed The Trolls<\/a>?” On the Internet, trolls are those who start\u00a0flame wars<\/a>\u00a0or intentionally upsets people on the\u00a0Internet<\/a>. I know you have crossed at least one and maybe, just maybe you have been a troll. I know once in a blue moon, I am, but usually, I try to share love and kindness and not try to upset. Not feeding the troll means not engaging with them and letting them starve. If someone doesn’t engage, the conversation dies out and so does the troll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be asking why I bring this up. Lately, I’ve seen so many people try to troll others. They post conspiracy theories, debunked messages, half-truths, and try to bring you to their point without facts. These are trolls. I’ve decided not to feed them. It doesn’t help me or others when you engage. Debate is one thing, feeing a troll is another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might ask if this is Biblical. Actually, while Jesus didn’t call them trolls, he did say that some people weren’t ready for his message and his disciples should move to another town. (Matthew 10:14<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s question: Are you feeding the trolls, debating in good faith, or letting the trolls starve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
