That is an unfair statement to ever make. No one on this forum actually claims to represent atheists, and even if they did so, it would not be valid until a significant body of atheists verify that claim.
That said, it is a form of poisoning the well. Just because some atheist is patently offensive does not ruin what others have to say. Argue that it is simply the way people work, then I have a surprise for you - People are NOT LOGICAL. If they were, one could be offensive and be regarded as offensive with no judgement passed to one's peers.
Because you are legitimizing that train of thought for guilt by association with no other context to suggest otherwise, kindly fuck off and die.
It doesn't matter if he claims to represent atheists or not, nor does it matter whether or not a significant body of atheists verify the claim. You're just talking out of your ass.
I do like your use of strawman though. I never said that people are logical. You're defending a guy who openly supports the killing of innocent civilians and act like a child when people call him out on it, ergo, i can easily see that people are not logical. Show me where I suggested that he ruined what others have to say.
