  • 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 David Hearn sue for malicious prosecution?
If I was him, I would sue. I would also try to sue Trump, because Trump knowing lied and got people arrested.

Saw them.
Good then you saw that I'm not taking this issue particularly seriously and have posted a lot of satire, sarcasm and facetious remarks.
Plus the one where you said that you criticising the president wasn't on because you wouldn't want to give ammo to 'the other side'.
No, I'm saying supporters of any president, any person, any cause aren't going to say things against who or what they support. And that shouldn't came as a surprise.
Then you accused 'the other side' of doing the same, by not accepting any explanation other than the contractors messed up. Presumably to justify your own position, even though it was blatantly obvious that they had.
One should accept that there might be more than one possibility in any given situation.
The fact that the president lies all the time, lied about something really quite inconsequential in the grand scheme of things (he literally can't help it) and is still lying about it even when everyone in his administration has explained what actually happened has not been addressed. Maybe you think that a couple of humerous AI piccies gives you a pass on doing that. Or maybe you still don't want to give ammo to his detractors.

Who knows.
We have been told over and over again to stick to the topic and not get personal. To not go after other members, to not call out other members, talk about them instead of the position they're maintaining, to avoid using "you" statements in debating.

It should be obvious that each president has had millions supporters. And supporters aren't going to say something that the opposition will use as ammunition. There shouldn't be confusion as to why supporters don't air the same complaints as the opposition.
I haven’t seen much criticizing of any of the Trump Administration policies or implementation of those policies, by supporters.
Where might I find that?

Trump supporters aren't joining in on the criticism issued by those who oppose Trump? Please explain why that's supposed to be unusual or whatever.

I guess it’s not unusual they seem totally incapable of any self criticism. That’s precisely how we got here. I’d ask if you’re happy with how things are going but you don’t seem too interested in conversation.

You can just say what you think of the situation rather than talking about people who aren't here.

You do a lot of acrobatics in your spare time?
Acrobatics? You're the one who posted hoping that an innocent man goes to prison. Are you going to retract that?

I've said plenty about the situation in the last 456 pages. That post was in context to a conversation. Are you the self-appointed moderator of conversations now?

Yeah I suppose you have addressed the topic here and there. Like this one:

Okay, you're going with the conspiracy theory.
Regarding the Trump admin going for a false prosecution to deflect from their incompetence. I too went for the "conspiracy theory", as any clear eyed observer should have.

At the time, I thought for sure he was guilty, so I never actually hoped "an innocent man goes to prison". I'm sure the president thought the same.

...So, I can't really retract something I didn't mean or say.

It's still just an opinion or "conspiracy theory" that this was a "false prosecution to deflect from their incompetence".

...Can you prove that? Of course you can't.

As well as several other baseless arrests.
Oh, so you're sold on this being an intentional false prosecution... Is that based on your gut feeling, or do you have some secret recording to use as evidence that these arrests were completely fabricated as a cover-up?

Let's not act like Trump is a mafia boss - Oh wait, that is the narrative from the left. How convenient that Trump is like everything bad (Hitler, Stalin, mobsters, the devil etc.), that way he can kinda be likened to all bad things and all bad times no matter what. Such tactics might be considered clever, if they weren't so blatantly obvious.
