The point being that if he does end up getting banned, it would be because of behaviour which breaches the Rules; and not because he happens to identify as a theist.
Would it be considered 'disruptive' if a theist 'sought the last word' in an argument or a civil disagreement? vise versa would an Atheist be considered 'disruptive' in a similar situation?
I think what Huggie is speaking about is the down right distain Atheists have when a theist has rightfully beaten them into a corner. A practice that is completely ignored when an atheist beats a theist into a similar corner. Even if they flame and rage against the theist's personal attributes to get them there.
When? If it is off the god topic it would depend on what they beat us to. But on claiming any god, nobody has beaten atheists, much less people of other religions with other god claims.
Outside that in my years of being on multiple pages I have seen both theists and atheists take it too personally. I think it is mundane human psychology of someone not being used to being a minority. That does not mean that majority is out to get you in every single case depending on the website. I have said before and been witness to as well, this site taking actions against atheists too. If you cannot trust the staff here to be objective then that is your insecurity and you need to consider if you are going to be happy being here. Nobody would want to torture you with something you are uncomfortable, but ultimately you are still not forced to be here.
