  • 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 am a retired research chemist and process engineer. I also have several years teaching experience in middle school, high school, and college levels. Because most of my forum posts are in the science forums I think it is important to mention that I possess a m\Master of Science degree in Earth Science (Univ. Memphis, 1977), with concentration in Paleoclimatology. My graduate research project was on the causes and occurrences of continental glaciation. Though retired now, I am presently doing research pertaining to Wisconsin Stage Glaciation termination, and outbreak events associated with abrupt sea level rise.

I had previously listed my academic and professional backgrounds here, under interests. However, because under this category hobbies are also listed, some science forum posters have mistaken that is just hobbies, I have moved them to the Biography category.
