I guess you missed the "For some, not all, some,..." part.
No matter how much I carefully qualify my statements and make every attempt to allow for differences of opinion, some, not all all, some atheists will ignore any attempt at nuance to revile my opinions and make personal insults. I strongly suspect such seemingly intentional distortions come from deeply held prejudices against theists. This is what makes participation on AF so often unpleasant for me personally.
