Is this guy talking about atheists having a go at other atheists? If so, it's like he's being the parent telling off his kids. Not sure I understand - so some atheists are also dickheads, hardly surprising.
I don't insult people when I debate (you need all the high ground you can get with most of these people), but I will be extremely rude, flippant and damning about their beliefs/actions if they are worthy of ridicule. I can be really blunt, calling their belief system a lie, evil, ridiculous or shameful, depending on what suits, and I'm certainly not going to hold back. But why bother shit-slinging? Doesn't solve the problem at all.
