First, sorry to those who I offended with the cussing. I honestly was not thinking. (I am still wondering if we are allowed to censor cuss words when they are needed, like that troll cussing at me. I understand if not, as censoring does not change the meaning, but I thought that I would ask.)
Anyway, the troll left the conversation rather quickly after I still demanded an answer to my main question, which was why he was so angry at people of faith (Not just Christians.)
He also deleted all of his comments, so I did the same, and now the user has a clean comment thread again. A victory for sure.
I do occasionally deal with trolls like that, and would love to share the interactions here if allowed. However, I would much prefer not to break any more rules as I really do love this place and want very much to remain part of it. Any suggestions about the ones that cuss? Should I just replace the entire word with *bleep* or something? Most of their cussing has no importance to the sentence that they are using it in, so the words can be replaced with no trouble. (And yes, I did have a discussion with a mod about this already through PM, but not to the extent that I am now asking. Besides, I would like general opinion of all mods and users on the subject.)
Anyway, as I had discussed with the troll, I was messing with him for fun. He insisted that I had to keep telling him that to convince myself (wut?), but in reality, I was constantly repeating it to get on his nerves. A quick search through his G+ page showed that he makes a lot of hateful comments, but he was not lieing when he said that he was not trying to be a troll. He means his comments. Anyway, I got a friendly "thank you" from the OP, and she added me to her circles, which is something that I dont get a lot of people doing. So all went well.
To summorize, my end game was to annoy him into leaving so that the OP could get their comment out without being beraited for one line. If there is any sort of victory or "winning" in that, I guess that would be considered one.
I love messing with trolls.
