Yes, insults are allowed to a degree as long as they are sprinkled inbetween an actual debate. What we don't allow, however, is this immature back and forth flame-war that you two are engaging in.

Playing the martyr card, eh? I've got news for you, we warn atheists for insulting much more than we warn theists here.
