These are common features of any forum software, well understood by those who regularly frequent such forums. We're not about to dumb down our discourse because you are unwilling or unable to do the heavy lifting and learn how it works.
The "heavy lifting" being the ability to type:

Ditto. I was also enjoying turning his words/attitude back around on him. If he doesn't want to write without superfluous flourishes and really awkward phrasing (seriously, "while, all the while" would get a red pen in a high school English class), then why should anyone want to help him handle ubiquitous online forum software? Respect is a two-way street, and his purported philosophical brilliance means fuckall if he can't be bothered to at least make a token effort to present himself better.
I mean, if he doesn't care what we think, then why bother writing the screed on a forum at all? There are better ways to archive one's work, even digitally, than hoping whatever random server you put it on remains functioning, or that anyone who stumbles upon it will even bother to read it.
Of course, I'm 99% sure this is a troll job aimed at poking fun at smarmy, ironically holier-than-thou internet atheists. Like I said earlier, it's a decent effort, but it didn't stick the landing. Everything was too pronounced, and the pieces of his story/motivations never quite fit.
