• 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.

Actually, my statements are not transparent. They only appear so. Nobody in CF knows which country I'm in at the moment. I change my profile time every now and then. Right now, I'm on a student exchange and am in a different country.

It pays to be careful. Last year, a couple of my friends and I took a train from Paddington to Hereford with our bicycles. We were meeting two boys there who said on a chat site that they would show us a secret bike trail. At Hereford station, we were met by a man who told us to put our bikes in his van. I felt something was not right. The boys were to meet us at the station with their bikes. Nothing was said about a man and a van. But the man knew a lot about our chat at the site. I told my friends not to go with him and they agreed.

In the end, the three of us went cycling on our own and we covered a good 100 km of a lovely bike trail. So, it pays to be careful about one's identity on the net.

:wave: :thumbsup: Good Deal, always protect yourself. Joy

That is scary! Happy that you were wise to not go along with that.

I'm sure if someone has a 800 x 600 pixel monitor, nothing on the Internet will look good.
