Given that most of the so called christian forums bath in their ignorance of the real world and science, it woud be a pointless endeavor anyway.
Being an administrator of a football forum that is based in the United Kingdom, it is pretty easy to find a troll. One of the things I started was a question and answer forum with regards to opposition fans and the upcoming match. The risky forums for me as a Manchester United supporter, are those of Liverpool, Manchester City, Leeds United and Arsenal. We have rivalries between these teams that have been going on for decades.
Now, in saying that, I have gone onto opposition boards, created an avatar of my own team and so, it was blatantly obvious that I was an opposition supporter. In my opening statement, I made it clear that I wasn't there to troll, but there to ask questions and to get some feedback, whether it was negative or positive. In fact, it is a pretty good way of getting opposition supporters to join your own forum too, since netiquette is so important and if you use the correct attitude, then you can go far.
So, if you have been banned or what have you, then it must have been for a reason of sorts. Remember, I am still a member of many other forums, where I could have been a troll, but decided in the interests of netiquette, decided not to become argumentative and to see the way others think about my particular football team.
