These type of posts have become a common theme for Chad here, as he has decided to let go of what little humility he actually had. That's why it's trolling.
My point is a lot of people here do that. Just jump into a thread and say some short, nasty thing about theists and/or their beliefs, and then leave. I'm not complaining about this, as I know it is an atheist forum, just pointing out that if that is trolling, then trolling is done here all the time, but doesn't get called out unless it's by a theist.
Whilst the above is true, the last year has seen Chad's contributions to the forum go from mundane but usually somewhat interesting to trolling 'hit and runs' where he will usually just post some drivel that has a swipe at some imaginary position which he loves to strawman, or the forum as a whole (whether it be membership or the staff) then leg it to another thread.
Case in point:
"...they cannot imagine being accountable to anyone other than themselves."
Demonstrably bollocks. You'll notice no atheists saying we yearn and indeed salivate at the idea of a free for all. We all know what he means, though. He means that because we don't believe in this thing you guys call a 'god' (???) we effectively have no control over our behavior, and hence no accountability. Last time I checked there were these things called laws, and even beyond that, our own internal intuition and beliefs about not harming people just because we can.
Jus' trollin'.
