Hold up. Maybe it should be "fairly evident in a relatively short number of posts if we have a troll or not," but I distinctly remember you thinking someone was a troll on another's say-so, and that person was banned. I'm not saying you banned him, (I know you did not -- he banned himself by telling the truth to the mods), but it is very obvious it's not fairly evident in a relatively short number of posts.
And if this were true -- "but when it becomes clear that the other person has no genuine interest in hearing us, or they become contentious, then God is not in it" -- this forum would have maybe five people in it, and none of them would be you or me.

No, I am afraid that my heart is not always in the right place, and it is actually embarrassing for me when people compliment me, because I know that surely on some level you must all realize I am just as sick and twisted as everybody else. 
Truly I long for the time when sin has no hold on this world, and no more influence over how we see ourselves and treat each other

Yeah, maybe I should have PM'ed him. I admitted that on the thread. But I was trying to open his eyes to something. I never accused him of being malicious. My intentions were to point out something to him in a way that would maybe, hopefully, jar him into seeing that how he was thinking was not beneficial to him, and also to some people on the thread. You have to admit, well, you don't have to have, but one of his posts was not appropriate. Or borderline inappropriate at best. One man to another, I was hoping to reel him in. If it was just a thread of us cave men, I would have told him to cool it, but not in the way I did. And I never wanted him banned (but you did just say that, I know). He got mad at me, i hope he still isn't. I should have PM'ed. I did what I thought was best at the time.Unlike trolls who get outright abusive, nasty and confrontational. I think the situations were different enough that your comparing apples and oranges. You know, or at lease you I think you do, that when I said it should be obvious in a relatively short period of time, I am generalizing. It is not a scientific mathematical equation. Better to error the side of giving the benfit of the doubt. But come on Lynn, we all know if it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, etc.

One of the key symptoms of insanity is to have no idea you are insane. (I am a smart alex. I'm not being one now. I learned this recently because my Dad has gone insane.) So to try to decipher between sane and insane and then Christian and nonChristian would be impossible. There is no logic in their brains left to know, so no way we would know.
And that's the difference between mentally disabled and insane. Mentally disabled know there is something wrong.

I don't think my heart is always in the right place but I trust God to form my heart to be like his own. I can say things wrong even with the purest heart and intentions because while i always say I always speak my heart and God is the words I sadly cannot say that he is always the words, but I have hope I trust him I continue to move forward trusting him regardless if I fall or mess up and that is why I know that one day his mind set his ways of thinking his ways of seeing how he feels everything that is his heart will be mine as well. I don't just want to be a good Christian I don't just want a love and relationship with him I seek a closeness a deep connection with him in which like marriage two beings become one mind and heart.
Haha I like that, going off our trolly, like going off the rails. Seriously, I have seen some serious damage done by trolls, and that is what some real trolls hope to accomplish. They want to destroy our faith. They will use any means possible, and the internet just makes it easier for them. That is why we are to put on the full armour of God. It is much harder to psychologically shred someone when they are wearing the helmet of salvation From Ephesians 6:
13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
