I prefer to see theists treated with respect but I also think it important that the site remain available for atheists to vent a little. Otherwise it would be like having a discussion on race relations while expecting those who have been disadvantaged by the status quo to remain calm throughout. We aren't purely rational beings and real communication doesn't happen in a cerebral vacuum. People are complex. Their expression will be too.
Do the moderators prevent theists from expressing strong feelings? They're certainly the group which comes to this forum with the historically advantaged position. Personally I wouldn't mind if theists did express strong feelings, so long as they speak for themselves.
