  • 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.

Pete Rose was a great baseball player and deserving to be in the Hall of Fame if anyone ever was. It is a shame he could not have enjoyed the honor during his lifetime. Yet, I can appreciate MLB's need to make a strong statement to its players lest its product gets tainted as a fixed show.

President Trump had advocated for Rose’s reinstatement, and earlier this year said he would “be signing a complete PARDON of Pete Rose, who shouldn’t have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING.”

I agree with President Trump on Peter Rose.
I've always said that Rose shouldn't be reinstated until Shoeless Joe Jackson was. I'm glad that Joe can be honored now.
