Creationists and whatnot are as you describe, perfectly willing to reveal any detail about their beliefs that you request. They're open because they don't care about contradictions or moral issues or any of that. They believe what they believe and your "logic" is from Satan and they won't be swayed.
The theists on DU, those who are the most - shall we say - "earnest" about lecturing atheists, are far more evasive. They are aware of the logical contradictions of their beliefs and know that any actual discussion about those beliefs will not go in their favor, so they evade and attack others instead, while claiming all along it's the horrible atheists who are keeping that discussion from happening. Previous offenders have all been PPRed for their horrible behavior eventually. But someone else is always ready to step up and pick up that mantle.
Just my experience - YMMV.
