Well, for one thing, many people on this list find Jon's posts pleasant and courteous, even when they are challenging. Jon, like many others here, consider IAAMOAC when they post. It's why personal attacks are to be avoided: they divide the community, rather than build it. Abrasive and monomaniacal posts are not pleasant and courteous, whether they come from someone defending or attacking religion.
