It's as good as using reasonable responses, for all the good they do most of the time.
I've seen two Christians online deconvert in the 15 or so years I've been active on the Internet in sites ranging from AOL's "Evolution is a Fact" chatroom to Adam Lee's Daylight Atheism blog, to TAF, here, and so on. Every so often, the seeds hits the soil at the right time, and germinates.
I don't think that will happen with the Christians in the minority here, though. Their refusal to listen is exceptional even for Internet Christians. So in this case, I'd say your approach is just fine. Maybe you could salt it with bits stolen from your favorite comedians?
