Look at my own post. I politely recommended a book that will help him understand the Big Bang Theory, since his first post showed an obvious lack of understanding.
Now look at the first page of this thread. The first two responses were of the "So if you don't want us to try and convince you, then why are you here?" variety, which I'll agree seems like a perfectly reasonable response to the opening post. The OP responded with something of a generic non-answer, but at least he seemed relatively polite about it. The next three responses all literally swore at him and called him names, without bothering to contribute anything of use to the conversation. Is it any wonder that theists tend to assume that all atheists are just angry and rude?
Uhm... I think I was pretty polite, not that he deserved the politeness. The OP signed up for an account, wrote a wall of text, and had no point at the end. He didn't write an intro and he had no interest in engaging the community. He came here to proselytize. It's really simple.
