Just as a matter of rules and such, it's preferred that introductions be kept separate from sections where debate is accepted, and this section focuses solely on meeting and greeting. You seem ready to tangle with the theists, but for those who come to the introduction section just to meet and greet, where often personal details are shared, the forum prefers not to leave them open to being accosted by aggressive regulars. That's what the rest of the forum is for. And if we can't do it, it's not fair for you to engage in it going the other direction.
We also have a rule about calling out other members, so it would be inappropriate to create a thread demanding Fr0d0 continue the discussion there, but you can ask him if he would be willing to start such a thread devoted to his views, or start a thread devoted to your specific viewpoint, without making it directed at him. You may also ask the moderators to split off the part of your introduction thread that has turned into a debate, so that you can continue the discussion outside the Introductions section. (Just "report" the post at which you want the split, giving your request that it be split as the reason; or, PM a moderator or staff member and ask them to split the thread.)
