Its not him [Daystar] that I didn't like. It was his repeated dodging questions about the supernatural and still go about claiming it that I didn't like. If he's going to claim he's gotta be willing to be questioned. It was very annoying for him to expect us to give evidence but he'd never do the same.
It was hypocrisy. And he was very arrogant and ignorant for accusing us as being 'zealous' and saying that asserting atheism is a religion again and again after repeatedly failing to provide any evidence of that and to address the point that: Atheism is absence of a belief! If you're an atheist you can practically believe in ANYTHING except God. Its open minded. Unlike religion. Unlike religious and scripture-based belief when you go along with all the crap in scripture and/or your religion despite the fact there's no evidence of the truth of such assertions in the scripture/religion!
And he was a trouble maker for constantly digressing, dodging questions and at times, throwing insults. He told me once that "darwin believed in a creator". I asked what he was talking about and he replied with a quote from the edition of 'Origin' where Darwin added 'the creator' into it. I explained that I was very familiar with that quote and that wasn't in the original 'Origin' and as I think Dawkins said it was probably added 'As a sop to the religious lobby'.
What was his reply?: "I know Darwin didn't believe in God really, I was just trying to annoy you".
It was ignorance and trouble making. Time wasting. He didn't annoy me he just wasted my time and I found it amusing that he was being so petty and pathetic
So I replied with: "Pity you failed"
