You're not obnoxious on-line. (I consider militant atheists to be
obnoxious; you're not militant enough to be obnoxious. I consider
militant *anything* to be obnoxious, so please don't think I'm picking
on atheists. Militant agnostics are a little more bearable than any
other sort of militant religionists.)
I have no idea as to what you're like in person, so I can't make any
sort of judgement call there.
