During Skepticon 4, atheist blogger and author Greta Christina talks about the theist assertion that atheists are so angry all the time.
A long clip, but very insightful and possibly eyeopening. Reccomended for atheists, and highly so for theists and apologists.

What's the best term for the technique of diverting attention from the subject of someone's anger by making the anger the subject of discussion?

I hadn't heard her speak before, thanks for the link! I actually watched the whole thing and have added it to my favorites list. Will definately keep my eye out for her writings.

Now that you mention it, yeah I think someone did. Credit where it's due, whoever it was did it first.
