You're trying to have it both ways here: "If it happened, I'm going to gloat and gloat, but if it didn't, well, I'm covered there too because I'm skeptical."
Who's gloating? I understand that all groups have scumbags in them. I have never associated them with all creationists, or tarred all creationists with this brutish brush.
What I have done is taken creationists to task for comments made on these boards, from gleefully cheering these scumbags to simply remaining silent and not condemning them. Posters here are responsible (and only responsible) for what they say and do on these boards.
If I'm qualifying, it's because I reserve judgment until the facts are in. Unlike the posters here who glorify this violence....
How do you know who they are or what they believe or whether or not they are trolls?
from gleefully cheering these scumbags
What scumbags?
to simply remaining silent and not condemning them.
Condemning whom? It is impossible to condemn that which does not exist.
Posters here are responsible (and only responsible) for what they say and do on these boards.
And yet you attempt to use their posts against others of their ilk, as you define ilk.
