Yeah. Thats me. Crying myself to sleep at night over the ''civilised and congenial'' stuff atheists say @me.
I also like sarcasm. I'm learn-dings.

I dont visit very many theist fora. But I have a fair bit of experience with the (typical) asymmetric rules of engagement on atheist boards.
Theists - no preaching.
Atheists - preach as MUCH AS YOU WANT......it is AvT after all.
I don't see atheists 'preaching' on here. I mean, preaching about what? Not believing in an un-evidenced claim? Whatever you say, son.
Generally, the conversations with theists go like this:
Theist: God [x] is real and does [y]
Atheist: Prove it
Theist: You're closed minded
Atheist: HERP
Theist: DERP.
Show me an example of where one of us is 'preaching', and what, specifically, we're preaching about. Just for my own information.

A typical example of echo-chamber mentality.
You are allowed to openly discuss and debate The RulesTM and define what constititutes "trolling, flame wars, and intentionally harassing other members" but if a Christian has a problem, they are supposed to keep quiet or leave.
I don't care about Christian beliefs. Christians are just but one of the many types of [poly]theists who make claims I don't believe.
If you think there's a problem, take it up with the admins, including, of course, the admin who is also a theist who doesn't seem to think there's a problem (that I've seen, I could be wrong). Overall, I'd say theists get a very good reception here. Again, much better than I would if I joined a typical theist website.
It's also ironic, really, that we're having a discussion about what constitutes "trolling, flame wars, and intentionally harassing other members", don't you think? If you've got a problem, have you actually ever taken it up with one of the admins?
