  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Time to Leave

It's been 9 years since I first joined CF, then as a Christian. Much about my thinking has changed since that time, and although I eventually became an atheist, I continued to post here because the conversation remained so enjoyable and enriching, thanks largely to the thoughtful contributions of all involved, particularly those on the Philosophy and Physical & Life Sciences forums.

Although it remains that way, recent events in my personal life mean that I can no longer contribute to this conversation, and so it's time for me for leave.

To @Ana the Ist, @bhsmte, @quatona, @FrumiousBandersnatch, @Davian, @Loudmouth, @Armoured, @Cearbhall, @Stanfordella, @DogmaHunter, @Eudaimonist, @Freodin, @zippy2006, @GoldenBoy89, @HitchSlap, @Eight Foot Manchild, @Dave Ellis, @Paradoxum, @Skavau, @jayem, @Grizzly, @The Cadet, @SteveB28,@Wiccan_Child, @Ringo84, @TLK Valentine, @variant, @ToddNotTodd, @Larnievc, and many others: thank-you for your incisive and thought-provoking contributions. This forum is made better by your posts.

Wishing you well,
Archaeopteryx
