Here’s the thing, John...you’ve always been at the wheel of this convo. It’s for no reason other than your own Gish Gallup that the thread has wandered far and wide.
Of course. Conversations drift, ebb, and flow; its in their nature. We've gone through vision, perception, selection, psychology, theories, hypothesis, etc. There's a logical progression there.
However, when I steer away from religion due to a lack of relevancy, and the forum insists on going back there, it's reasonable to wonder if it qualifies as trolling.

This is my favorite part of these convos.
When the creationist troll pisses on our backs and tells us it’s raining.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No; but sometimes forums become stagnant with the same members. I got the impression I barged into someone's bedroom rather than a thread to discuss the life sciences.
I want to respect the subculture that has emerged in this forum by being clear about the rules. For example, if LFC has immunity from trolling, given that she's the moderator, then I want to respect that immunity. If I don't have it as a newcomer, then I won't overstep my boundaries by imitating the rest.

You have no interest in discussing life sciences. You made the thread to breathlessly repeat the mistakes of other creationists.
......but sure, that’s definitely rain.
Now you’re on to complaining about mods, lol. If this were a creationist drinking game we’d all be laying in a gurney by now.

No complaints, just want to be clear on the rules and the culture so I don't break them. I don't mind getting trolled, its fun and adds character to an otherwise stale conversation. I don't think people should be banned for trolling, but again, the forum has its own rules.

Very good, but you cannot deny the truth no matter how much you bury it. Many Prophets were accused of crazy, but the unbeliever does not learn the lesson.
Unbelivers know prophets are crazy, not just accused of being crazy, and believers are gullible disgraces to humanity for facilely facilitating the misbegotten rules of the crazy over so much of humanity.

"Making posts that are unrelated / irrelevant to the thread or conversation subject."
If God, religion, Jesus, etc., are unrelated to the conversation subject. Wouldn't the constant shift to creationism and other irrelevant topics be considered an act of trolling? Just wondering for future reference, thanks.
It may be because you are the one defending your cause and SoG is just random noise, so you get more attention. I think you should get proper schooling in science to talk about evolution, a fact, that is best explained by the scientific theory of evolution with a wide range of evidence. Do you have a better explanation to the diversity of life on this planet?
As to SoG. Apart from his or hers moniker, I stopped caring when he invoked the antichrist when he proclaims himself as muslim and talks about the antichrust. You know, christ is a christian thing and muhammed is the true prophet™ lel.
Heh, he isn't very good at proselytizing either. So yeah, dance, you're here to amuse me.

Personally, I’m disappointed that you didn’t actually want to discuss the subject that interested and enthralled you so much that you read apologists screeds about it and even joined a second atheist forum to post on.
We get a lot of low rent creationists. Been years since the last good one.
Were you aware that your inability to intuitively conceive of the evolutionary account of the interaction between sense organs and qualia is predicted by one of the evolutionary accounts of the relationship between sense organs and qualia?

Nope, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Evolution is one those theories that can bend and twist to predict almost everything imaginable.
