Hi Wuzzey,
Welcome to the forum.
What a coincidence, there are more of those here. :p
Okay, then let me ask you this. Hypothetically, if someone comes to an atheist forum and says "Hi, I am Fred and I no longer believe in a god because my cat told me it was nonsense!". Even though he is an atheist, would you really take that guy seriously?
Now I know this is an extreme example, but just because someone doesnt believe in gods doesn't mean he or she is exempt from scrutiny and resistance if their other beliefs are nonsensical.
I am not defending the actions of the people from other forums here, but just to let you know that if someone here does "put you down" for something you wrote, may be it might be a good time to reflect on what it is you wrote and whether or not it objectively holds up to scrutiny. Always remember though it is never personal.
I know it is not easy, I have had to do that on several occasions but in the end it was worth it.
