Interesting thing to pick up on and roll with.
I don't know what Ace thinks, but I believe all aggressive atheists have their own reasons for being aggressive. Maybe they spent too much time with pedophilic Catholic priests. Maybe they had psycho Christian grandmothers. Maybe they don't like being told how to feel, think and act by religious nutters. There is no broad generalization to be had here. If you're looking for anything specific about atheism, you are only going to find one thing and it has already been mentioned in this thread.
The things you mention there, are they your experiences? If you don't want to talk about it that's ok.

If a fat bully repeatedly pushes you, wouldn't you deck him eventually? Religion's gotta know when to back off. I see religion as a big bully, it won't stop pestering you till you fall in line with it, or you push back.
Bullies don't like it when their victims start fighting back.
Perhaps I would, eventually. That's an interesting analogy you have about religion. Is it based on personal experience or just general observation?
