Christian forums are generally extremely boring because they're all patting each other on the back and they generally quickly ban anyone who disagrees with them.

But yes, it is very numbing.
I've actually found the opposite. The more cordial I am, the more pissed off they get. I think they don't like the idea that atheists can be nice people. I haven't tried to join a Christian forum in a long time. Way too boring.
I could see how that might be the case, perhaps I got lucky in the forums I plucked off of Google?
