tackattack, has something gone wrong in posting this last post of yours? It seems some tags are missing and there's a nice quote of me but without any comment of yours.

the first [ bracket to his quote is missing (as of writing this).
Otherwise... tl : dr... :S Maybe thats cause it is 2:19 here, and me is tired but cant sleep 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

How is a fresh, brand new question on a brand new topic about atheists within this very atheist discussion forum... an irrelevant question? "Why is that relevant?" to what, are you referring to? What are you expecting it to be relevant to?

Well said.
Anyway,
I've never participated in a formal debate but BOY would I like to!!

"Why is that relevant?" to what, are you referring to? What are you expecting it to be relevant to? So every new topic on this forum is relevant? Maybe to you, but not to me.
Furthermore, asking for the relevance is not the same as even suggesting it is irrelevant. I wanted to know to what purpose tackattack deemed it relevant to know about official debating skills of his opponents.
Even so, his answer suggested that it has no relevance at all.

Yes you do. Some are just more honest about it! Bolding by me. So by attacking my integrity and assuming my motives you are expecting me to bite onto what carrot, that I want to have some control over your life? laughable

Nah,I think numerically most are indifferent .Many of the fundies we get here are hostile and feel deeply threatened by anyone different. Many have a refined sense of schadenfreude and look forward to seeing atheists burn in hell with great relish.
From experience it seems most of the ilk we get here have an ego based agenda as they need something to give purpose to their pathetic little lives. Their outstanding qualities are willful ignorance and hubris.
I have no idea about tic-tac; I think he's boring and predictable, so pretty much ignore him most of the time.

Schadenfreude could also be said of the predominant amount of atheists I've found on here as well so maybe the forum should be named ExtremistForums or SchadenfreudeForums . That wouldn't be as catchy though. I think the general views of christianity view atheists as having a morose delectation, so I find it ironic. I take the latter as a compliment since I seek as little hate and as much sympathetic joy as possible in my life as possible.
