  • 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.

Hi everyone,

I was thinking that maybe we could all get on AIM some night and chat "live" rather than just using the forums. If you already have an account, that's great, if you don't, you can get one free . :)

[EDIT]
Create an account in AIM, but to allow you to communicate better with people using other instant messengers, I recommend actually using trillian at trillian.cc. Trillian is a unified instant messaging program that will allow you to communicate with other people who are using various types of instant messengers, but without you have to also have a copy of each of those instant messengers. When you start up trillian, tell it that you have an AIM account and enter in your AIM username and password. You can then use Trillian to contact other AIM users, or MSN users, or Yahoo users, etc.
[/EDIT]


My account name is cyberSpng (believe it or not, "cyberSponge" was already taken! What are the odds!?). You can just add me to your buddy/contact list.

the only thing left is to figure out a time and date. I'd like to do it this weekend cuz school starts monday and I'll be quite overworked. Would, say 8pm EST, 5pm PST on Sunday work out? One of us could then create a chat room using AIM, then could invite everyone else to it. It's the next best thing to us being in the same room chatting.

So what do you guys think? Who's with me? If you have AIM or get AIM, please post your screenname on this thread so we can all add you to our buddy lists.

Me

Is msn messenger compatible with AIM?

as anastasios says, if you have Trillian then you'll have no problem. When you start it up, you'd enter in your MSN info for yourself, but enter in AIM contacts. Then you can use trillian while the rest of us use trillian or AIM.

You can get it for free from here: www.trillian.cc

I don't have AIM on windows but I use Kopete on Linux which puts AIM, MSN, Yahoo and a couple others in the same window. My username is either Shagzilla69 or Shagzilla6969 (Shagzilla was my Iksar monk on Everquest and I was born in '69 so it's not something dirty.);)
