We have the examples of some of the Church Fathers who expressed heretical views. Does that make them non Christian?
Do we not honour Justin Martyr, Origen and Augustine? If someone expresses non Christian views, then that is their perogative. If they express non Christian views and call them Christian views on a forum like this, then do I not have recourse to call them non Christian and the reasons why?
I am not surprised at the vehemence. Judging by the quality and depth of the arguments, the entire platform appears to be extremely shaky, especially when examined in depth.

Please give us the "non Christian views" of those mentioned as examples, such as myself, Forest Keeper, Alamo-Girl, 1000silverlings, etc.
Those "non Christian views" must be pretty egregious for you to deny us the name of "Christian." So please be specific. What views are "non Christian?"
