→Wired saying "atheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men..."
:::Got this information from a certain website: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/atheism.html Need to read more of article than I read so far. If exact quote cannot be used, will need to make judgment call if entirely of article supports Vox Day's use. From what I read so far, the person at the party (or social gathering) appears to be making the unsupported claim of atheism (there is no God) and relishing proclaiming this unsupported claim to intentionally and boastfully potentially aggravate some people. Plus, the type of person described does seem to like to gratuitously aggravate people in general. That is quarrelsome and socially challenged behavior, isn't it?

::::Here is a quote from the article you listed: "Typical atheists are hardly the rabble-rousing evangelists that Dawkins or Harris might like. They are an older, peaceable, quietly frustrated lot, who meet partly out of idealism and partly out of loneliness." This doesn't jive with your representation of all atheists as belligerents.

Either the article uses the terms that you ascribe to it, or it does not. It would be intellectually dishonest to say that Vox Day's, whoever the heck that is, interpretation of the article represents what the article actually says, especially given the extract that Sharon provides, which really runs counter to that interpretation.
