  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I love what Mr Scott Jennings said to his CNN colleagues.
I’m really glad that you seem to feel good about Trump regaining the Highest Office in the Land.
I’m happy for you and your “side”.
Enjoy it.

Exactly. And why shouldn't Mr. Jennings be given that same respect?

Seems like he might work for CNN?
I ain't shocked that you haven't heard of Scott Jennings. However, he is one of the very few conservatives in CNN.

I did not witness any lack of respect to Mr Jennings, only a confession as to ignorance of his existence.

Don't play coy. She was being dismissive. It's a little pet peeve of mine because I see it on web forums. Someone posts text or video from someone who's not well known, and instead of addressing the content, someone says something like "why should I listen to random guy?" As if being more famous correlates to being more wise. As if Taylor Swift is wiser than all of us.

We all take the time to read each other's posts on here, even though we don't know who we are. It's dumb to dismiss anyone's opinions based on "I don't know of that person, therefore what they have to say doesn't matter".

The difference there, of course, is those of us who post to this forum can respond to what other posters say, and have a conversation. Unless this Jennings person decides to join us, no one can debate whatever points he may or may not make. They just sit there as pronouncements, and that's it.

On the other hand, my neighbor thinks Trump is a criminal who should be in jail, and shouldn't have even been allowed to run for office.

-- A2SG, though, to be honest, I have no idea if he can sing as well as Taylor....

What are you talking about? We can all debate amongst ourselves whatever points he makes. By your logic, we should never post a link to anything anyone says who isn't a member here?

I accepted Biden as president, even if I didn't agree with his policies. I still pray for him every day. We always had a president.

I never heard of him either. I should probably keep myself more informed, coming from a (moderate) Republican.

Yes, WE can debate the points all we like. But where those points come from, whether from some random guy off of CNN or my neighbor carries no additional weight whatsoever.

I never proposed any such logic, nor did I say a word about what links anyone may or may not post.

-- A2SG, this might go better without making up random assumptions y'know....

So who cares what Scott Jennings says...or my neighbor, for that matter. Their opinions don't matter.

Offer your own, and we can discuss it. But offer Jennings, or my neighbor's, and....well, after saying they both are entitled to their opinion, that's about all that can be said.

-- A2SG, though, I still see my neighbor every now and then....Jennings, I wouldn't know if I tripped over him.....

You're not making sense. If other people's opinions don't matter to you, why are you participating on a web forum? Why are you even talking to me?
