It seems to me that this makes you guilty of trolling and goading. To quote the Donald, Sad.

I think you'll find that I am a favorite target for goading here. Accusing me is just deflection.

Trolling-1: I don't agree with you therefore you are trolling.
Trolling-2: You don't agree with me therefore you are trolling.
Goading-1: I don't agree with you therefore you are goading.
Goading-2: You don't agree with me therefore you are goading.

More like: "You refuse to learn from your errors, you are trolling".

You are deflecting, yet again, from the demonstrable, observable fact that you are avoiding addressing questions and refutations of an assertion you have made.

If making an assertion, then running away from its defence when the counter arguments become to hot for you, is not trolling or goading, please tell me what it is.

You can easily leave me with egg on my face by going back and addressing tas's point that initiated this particular round of your avoidance tactics, thereby demonstrating that you don't run away.

If I don't agree with you I shall provide chapter and verse of why I disagree. That means evidence and argument, not just opinion and more unsupported assertions. If you all we get is the latter then it is difficult to ascribe it to anything other as trolling, but - as noted above - you can offer an alternative explantion. (And no, saying you got bored and don't want to play anymore is neither courteous or acceptable.)

If disagreeing were trolling this whole website would be shut down.
Disagreeing can be valid. If one refuses to learn when shown to be wrong repeatedly that is trolling. And there is quite a bit of trolling here especially. When people base their beliefs upon a religion cognitive dissonance tends to strike leading to trolling behavior.

I would think that the one who insists that the other change their mind in the one trolling/goading. It's an attack/defend thing.

You don't need to change your mind, but an honest person would at least admit it when shown to be wrong. A troll would not.

Dude, you yourself are a selfconfessed troll.

Provocateur really. Trolls want to argue. I usually want to educate. Sadly most find my statements so over the top that they argue with me instead. :(

No you dont. We can read your posts you know.

I'm speaking of main body of my work here, which includes lots of really funny humor. :D

No, quite important and the reason that you always fail.

If I were an evolutionist I would still leave the door open a crack for the possibility of creation, just to be safe.

Now if you want to discuss something that is, or should be, important to everyone, I'm all ears.

When one's own education is lacking educating others is all but impossible.

I'll concede that some of my ideas are so far ahead of their time that they seem foolish to most (although there are some that get it).

It is open. The problem is that there is no scientific evidence for creation. Just as there is no scientific evidence for pixies. The two are on the same level. If someone kept demanding that everything we see is due to pixies and could not support their beliefs would you respect them?
