I think you are doing well Steve, and maintaining your composure a lot better than I could.   I always take it as encouraging, when the arguments are ignored, and those opposing start attacking your character, and using poisoning the well tactics.  Just about anything can be dismissed, with a hyper-skeptical approach, and it's why it is not pragmatic to hold consistently. 

It's kind of fun, just to spectate!  As I said, you are maintaining yourself better than I would.  By now, I would have went POE, and started using their same arguments against evolution.  It's not as productive, but I like watching them back pedal and use circular reasoning.

Thanks! I found you have to stay focused on one subject at time--sometimes ignoring parts of a reply to stay on track. It might migrate to another, but only after I am done addressing weak points in the argument or sense that my defense of xyz is not being understood. I try to respond to either 1) those that are interested in a civil discussion or 2) post that are not so much civil or thoughtful but whose contents will help me make my next point. There are some posts that I simply can't get to or cover topics already discussed in detail a few pages before. 

As to staying composed, I block people who either 1) clearly just intend to be hardcore blasphemous, or 2) the kind of person who only posts one-liners that do not contain anything of interest to me.
