  • 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.

It seems "The Atlantic's" editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was included in discussions between the US "most senior security advisers" about the pending attacks on the Houthis.

Something that irritated me was the Biggles Flies Again attitudes of some in the group.

For Goldberg, the security breach continued. After the bombing, Waltz celebrated by posting three emojis — a fist, an American flag and fire. There had indeed been fire — Yemen's health authorities say the bombing killed at least 53 people.

Witkoff was not to be outdone, and, Goldberg wrote, sent five emojis to the group: two sets of hands praying, a flexed bicep and two American flags.

I suppose one advantage is that if the Trump administration decides to launch World War III we might be able to read about it in the newspaper before it happens, complete with emojis.

It's a common internet joke that the last content of the internet will be a meme about the end of the world.

I think that we are just about at the point where the communication that CAUSES the end of the world will also be a meme.
