I really have no mindset on this at this time.
What I am seeing is the repeated postings of negitive comments, that have previously on many occasions been given a fair an reasonable answer.
What are we to conclude from such input to a post?

Hello Tony,
I totally understand what you mean. I got the feeling this happens to Bahai also.
Below is how I see all of this.
Trolling: placing messages to provoke emotional flames (anger, fear, sadness).
Trolling belongs in the corner of narcissisists. We have plenty on earth nowadays. So obviously there is a percentage on RF.
Narcissists are emotionally underdeveloped and got stuck at age four emotionally, many experts say. They are filled with rage, which has to come out of course.
To solve their problems they should focus on themselves. But it's easier to find fault with others.
Hence, instead of doing introspection, they stay 'outside', creating havoc around them, as this feeds their ego; but never their soul. Hence they will be "eternally" unhappy.
Many experts agree, that it's kind of incurable. Which makes sense, as most narcissists think they are perfect, so they need no help at all. They rather prefer to take on the role of President, therapist, prophet or even believe they are Jesus themself.
Because they got hurt so deeply, by parents mostly, as it happens before age 4, they feel they have the right to hurt others also. Of course, others are never allowed to hurt them.
Most experts advise "No contact" when you meet a narcissist and run away. Never get entangled in their games. Because they always win, as lying has become their first nature.
So, if I feel someone is not genuinely interested in what I say, I feel no need to answer them. If they just like to test me out, I reply with a smile, and go to the next message. I need not defend myself, and definitely not to a narc.
Trying to explain something to them is waste of energy, as they are only interested in trolling (emotionally upsetting) you. Look up the term gaslighting in combination with narcissism, and you understand what I mean.
One important note though:
Narcissists are created by, for example, parents who belittle them, and play all kinds of emotional blackmail games, thereby destroying the pure child, and narcissist is "born".
When a religious person believes "my way is the highway" he belittles all who think different. Hence in that case, I call "narcissists acting out" the proper karmic response, created by the arrogant, so called religious, person himself.
So in a way, narcissism shows there is something fundamentally wrong in the world. Maybe 40% is religious, believing in "my way is the highway". Having this Spiritual arrogance, which in my view is the breeding place for narcissism. Heck, maybe they do the same as narcissists, just hiding behind religion. But that era is almost over now IMO. They are exposed on a daily basis.
There is only 1 disease in the world, the disease of a "blown out of proportion ego". If religious people let go "my way is the highway" then these karmic needed reactions will just vanish I think (new ones might pop up though
)
Wish you all the best
Regards
