Being a member of many rationalist groups, both online and offline, I have noticed apologetics coming up with the same old rehashed arguments over and over again. This is very typical of apologetics who need self reassurance themselves that their belief is worth their time; so they will often poke their noses where non-theists hang out. This is a sign of weakness. How often do you see an atheist in a theists forum? Never!
And the ones who dare venture into their space are swiftly banned, as theists are allergic to rational discussion. Flip side, you will always see a deluded one trying to proselytize a rationalist. And we are accommodating enough to let them air their views. This gives them extra motivation to carry on their verbal diarrhoea. Once we stop paying attention to them or stop responding to them, they get frustrated. They are attention seekers. They need attention since deep down, they are doubtful of their beliefs but years of indoctrination have permanently installed the delusion of God in their hearts which, no matter how hard they try, will never let go.
Apologetics cannot live with the notion that non-believers should not pay attention to them. Ignoring them really pisses them off. Once they realise they are ignored, you will notice they will come up with questions just to entice us into discussion with him. Ignore that too and it will just blow up their heads.
