I try to use "one" or "they", but in general one tends to use "you" even though it is not necessarily directed at a specific individual.

Theists show up on an atheist forum to ask questions of the opposing view.
Yes, it makes perfect sense to come to an atheist forums to ask atheists about atheism. Coming to an atheist forum to ask theists about theism, however, just seems a little counter productive.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
