Sh1t, I know a physics grad student who believes the moon landings were faked. You can always find one or two crazies who should know better, but refuse to accept it, from YEC geologists, to communist economists.
Regarding that Janelle girl's blog, I too got banned, for giving her links to 5 different sites where educated people in law and science said Davetard was an idiot in those areas. Not to make any public point, but to plant a seed of truth in her mind. She's 17 yro, I'm not going to get into a big argument, I just thought a little nudge might help along a tipping point, sometime later. If she's intelligent and bookish, it won't be long before she sees that Dembski and Davetard and company are frauds.
It's important, when you're communicating in these emotionally charged areas, to have a firm understanding of what you can and can't, and should and shouldn't, do, otherwise you end up wasting your time beating your head against a wall, or actually pushing people away from your position. Be MLK, don't be Louis Farakhan.
