  • 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 we just stop the obvious transphobic trolling? This is a lousy way to go about serious moral deliberation. As Essentialities has pointed out, there's no shortage of Christian pastors who have molested children. Perhaps we should conclude that Christians are horrible people that can't be trusted with children?

Well, instead of the continual manufactured outrage the GOP could start running on their long track record of reasonable, successful legislation helping the majority of voters in the country.
Only one minor problem with that idea.

Looks like this gender stuff is proving itself quite the problem
Quite the problem? How are you measuring the size of the problem? How does it compare to the size of the 'youth pastor' or 'athletic coach' problem?

They're all sinners, but when we have people cheering certain one's on, encouraging them, the problem grows bigger over time. When is too far, too far?

...Maybe we should retract all support now, and return to our roots... A failed experiment.

We don't encourage people to become priests or youth coaches? That's news to me.

Uh-huh.

I just became anti-LGBTQ today, so give me some time to formulate some really good arguments.

How about a "LGBTQ+ news" subforum?
But then we'd need a new subforum every time the GOP needs a scapegoat to distract from their failure to govern. One week it'll be drag queen story hour, the next imaginary caravans something or other, and then the next nude pics of someone's relatives. That's going to be exhausting for the staff around here.

It takes them a couple of years to come up with a new scapegoat. I think it's manageable.

If we got a HB Laptop forum it’d declutter the joint?
