• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Can I debate here?

I apologized for the fact I had made a generalization. I also apologized for where I said it, who I said it to, and the manner in which I said it. I did not apologize for the content of my statement.

And my real name is Andrew, as you could probably guess.

Now that is funny, your statement was a generalization which you said you apologized for then you end by saying you did not apologize for the content of your statement.

I am surprised you don't see a problem with that.

I didn't contradict myself, I simply mispoke or didn't make myself clear enough.

At any rate, I'll leave this thread alone for now. We've each made our points and there's no need to continue this discussion. Whether you believe me or not, I do apologize if I offended anyone personally. I never intentionally offend anyone on CF nor will I ever do so.

I look forward to fellowship with you in the future! :hug:

God bless!

Andrew,

I will leave this thread alone as well.

Although I did receive what I believe to be a nice compliment from Moriah which I am thankful for.

Very well, we have made no debate limitations but we do expect reasoned arguments (that is provide evidence and reasons for statements) and are trying to get away from the habits of the other forum of accusing people of things because there is a disagreement. This is after all an electronic forum and it is pretty easy to fix misstatements and make clarifications to previous posts.

Fair enough. Sounds good! :thumbsup:
