If you just ignore them, they will go away. They're only here to get a "rise" out of you in the first place. They're hecklers and spoilers, looking for a fight. Like your standard SEIU thug. Deny them that, and they'll get bored soon enough and go away....
JMHO FWIW
I have been ignoring them for some time, BB. In fact, they make a point of the fact that I have been ignoring them to make it seem like I post and run away. This has only made them even more brazen. And the mods won’t do anything about it. As you say yourself, you mostly ignore these threads because of what they turn into. But as someone who posts Creationist and ID articles on a regular basis, I can tell you that the evos cross the line every single day on a non-stop basis, to the point of PMing me and making personal threats.
