He asks the same questions over and over, and disrespectfully ignores our replies, even when he makes blatantly incorrect statements about what we believe, and will repeat them anyway. He asks questions for no other purpose than to get us to respond, which we call "trolling" (a reference to dragging a baited line through the water to see what fish will bite, but which has become an internet term). While we do have some militant members who can be hostile and insulting without cause, please let me assure you that Danny-boy there has more than earned any opprobrium fired in his direction... even though it is 48 hours after-the-fact.
So trolling comes from trawling? It is well said that you learn something every day.
We used to use it back in the early 90s on gaming servers, and yes, based on the act of trawling. I don't know for 100% that this is the origin of the word troll, but I think so. It strikes me as too close to be a coincidence.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
