It sounds like we're trying to put our own common god into a logic box here.

They are under no obligation to explain any part of their faith to us. But it is a missionary religion, just like ours, and the Trinity is the most fundamental concept in Christianity, so doesn't it make sense that their audience (us) should be able to comprehend the basics of their religion before accepting it?
Also, the quotes you put together in your post are out of context. I said "Ok, explain it" because the other poster was insinuating that since he understood the concept of Trinity that the rest of us should immediately understand the logic of it also. It was not an unsolicited "ok, explain it."
