What liberals have been thrown out at Fox and what were their “forceful arguments”? I am not aware of any.
So I haven’t presented any invalid arguments? Good to know.

Well, I can't remember exactly what I posted. This was like 6 years ago. A Christian forum had put out a direct challenge to atheists and had already banned several atheists that were members of an atheist forum I was on at the time. So I mosied on over and started a post saying something like,
"Well, we all really know that there is no God. I mean C'mon, let's be reasonable. For one..."
And then I just pointed out a couple logical flaws in the whole concept. I made sure I didn't mock God, I just expressed the idea that there was no way it was believable.
The banning from the atheist forum was a whole 'nother story. A blood feud among atheists one forum against another. They were telling some major lies about one of our members so I went over and posted a very, very long detailed post breaking down their logic and pointing out how hypocritical they were being.
No one responded for a while even as my post moved past the first page of threads. So I bumped the post. Then one of their members started cussing me out for bumping the post (which was not restricted by any rules on the forum.) I know. I checked first.
Well the thing was, I knew who that person was. Including their full, real name. So I responded with their real first name, only the first name, and asked her if she had something to say in response to my original post or was she just displaying her "normal disagreeable personality".
One of their mods immediately banned me and deleted everything. Official reason? Personal attack on her. Then all the normal members started replying on the thread with about 50 personal attacks against me even though I was already banned for making a personal attack.
The real reason I was banned? I think it was because I really did catch them being major hypocrits and called them out on it to their faces.
Eh, that forum doesn't even exist anymore.
Wow, I had no idea there were essentially gang wars between groups of atheists, that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing the story!
