a 19th century troll?
A Plea for Humanity: By William Wilberforce (fictional)
To the Inhabitants of this Great Nation,
In the year of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and Twenty, I present before thee a solemn entreaty, a document of grave import that doth speak of the blight upon our land – the vile trade of slavery.
Hark! Let it be known that the trade in human lives is an affront to the Almighty and a blemish upon the soul of our nation. It is a practice most barbarous, a chain that doth bind not only the flesh but the very spirit of liberty which our country so dearly cherishes.
Behold! The cries of the enslaved doth reach the heavens, and their tears doth stain our collective conscience. How can a nation so grand, so full of wisdom and learning, turn a blind eye to such suffering? How can we, the people of this land, uphold the values of justice and mercy whilst allowing our brothers and sisters to toil in bondage?
Verily! I say unto thee, the time hath come to cast off this yoke of oppression. Let us unite in the cause of freedom, to bring an end to this commerce of despair. Let us no longer trade in the currency of human anguish but invest in the wealth of emancipation.
Therefore! I implore thee, good people of Britain, to join me in this noble quest. Let us stand together, a phalanx of righteousness, to declare that no man, woman, or child shall be shackled by the chains of slavery. Let us proclaim, with one voice, that liberty is the birthright of all God's children.
In Faith and Hope,
William Wilberforce
sometimes a troll is not a trollÂ
but someone who has the courage to speak out against an injusticeÂ
and there is a question markÂ

I used wilberforce as an example of someone, who using the 20th century defense to any condemnation, of being a troll, would of in all likelihood, of been branded a troll by those opposing his views
much the same way as the Papacy would of branded Martin Luther a troll ''like a stone of stumbling, he has feared not to write and preach worse things than before against us and this Holy See and the Catholic faith''
I wrote this poem because on another site a man posted a poem into a competition a poem that they had previously published before when the rules say you cant do this, I mentioned it to him and he branded me a troll, suppose if you got no defense then brand some one a troll,,, lmfaoÂ
