They just weren't having it. There were other atheists there that had hundreds of posts. I don't know how they managed it. Maybe they have a quota system.I was there for a few months but I has to tip-toe around VERY carefully and be careful in my posts. Even then, my being there rubbed some of the hard hitting christians up very badly. I saw several atheists arrive and get banned within hours or days while I wad there.
I had one guy promise to convert me by PM (as he had a lot of experience bringing convicted criminals to god he said) so I accepted his offer. He started with 'do you accept the lord Jesus Christ as your saviour?' although a bit more elaborate. I replied 'No' and his language simply became abusive - so much for that.
They insisted that I capitalised 'god' so I obliged, one of them also told me that I should identify as agnostic instead of atheist. I told him I would as long as he did - the offer was not taken up. They were generally uncomfortable with non-believers really, eventually booting me out without warning and I'm still not sure of the reason. I think I had used the term 'cult' to describe them which probably tipped them over the edge.
Insular doesn't even come close.
