I'm clearly scary to those with poor reasoning.

We 'avoid' you because your posts are typically constructed on the 'Yah-huh/nut-huh' debate structure. Or you just snipe comments.. meaning there is nothing to say to a snarky passing quip.
Look at this post.
The discussion is about faith in science, or a broader topic atheism is a type of religious belief...
Now look at the quoted bit from you..
Out of all the things you could have said you choose to celebrate yourself and your perceived debating skill.. (Rather than show it by speaking topically)
Outside of calling you out and making fun of you for your "skill" i ask you what are theist supposed to say if your not speaking topically?
If you can't come up with anything we are supposed to say, then know you are where we normally are after reading one of your posts..
so know, it is more out of mercy that we let you say what you will, not fear.
I mean seriously look at the line of your peers and the end parade of insults they offer. what is one more clown in the circus?
