The reason why we are experiencing this Troll attack is simple: the IDers are getting their asses handed to them in court, and their supporters are desperate to distract the lurkers from this horrifying spectacle. Having no more coherent arguments to make their case than their bretheren in the Dover Court room, they resort to the only viable tactic available to them: disruption.
Recycled troll "newbies" showing up on these threads with extensive ping lists and the usual list of laughably ignorant arguments, quote-mined quotes, and bald-faced attempts to sucker us into flame wars while their compatriots ride the abuse button like a hobby horse are to be expected.
The Grand Master of DarwinCentral has spoken; our duty is to obey --- Please don't feed the Trolls!
Indeed, that admonition comes from the Grand Master himself. Darwin Central sees all, knows all, and controls all.
On behalf of the Grand Master, I am,

I didn't know TOE'ers had homosexual tendancies though. Got a link?
Funny, I also see more newbee TOE'rs around these threads than I, so watch who you call a troll.

Post a risible mix of untruth and fallacy, then go "Waaaaaaah! You said something unkind to me!"
Somewhere there's a creationist Carville giving all these wind-up dolls their marching orders for the week. It has to be, the way it goes through phases. There's a phase where nobody's a creationist--they're all just people who happen to be skeptical of evolution. Then we're knee-deep in YECs for a while.
