  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would say that the analysis is pretty much correct (and Auntie has the better timeframe) but I really saw it starting when CCC members started in on the definition of Christian debate...this was prior to the "librulls" and IIDB crowd (of which I am a member) but there were many Christians that are 1) conservative in the theological sense and 2) members of this forum that had some serious problems with the proposed definition.

I'm sure we all had a part to play in things...but there were internal issues before this blew wide open.

The problem with what you're doing Auntie is that you are posting things out of context. You jumped up and down and screamed bloody murder when somebody posted a message from Time's wife, but you have no problem doing the same sort of thing yourself. Go read some of your posts in response to that and have a good, long look in the mirror dear.
There is a difference between quoting someone's own words (said in public) and spreading gossip about another's marital life.

GM, I don't think you understand. As long as there is a Forum called "Conservative Christians", with members who are actually conservative, we will be the target of the liberals.

You said earlier we could post IIDB posts here. I did a very quick check at IIDB, less than one minute, and found this:

Well, I just posted something that will make her even madder in the venting thread. She has really gotten on my last nerve.

Nope. Not at all Belinda. What I posted is the typical gossip that goes on at IIDB 24/7. I could post hundreds of posts that basically say the same thing.

Actually, just so ya know, I wish you were correct.

But we have a problem here. A REAL problem here. Which begins and ends at IIDB, and the ones who love to mock the CC members there, and brag about it there, and then come here and bait the CC members.

This thread isn't about IIDB. It's about making CC whole again.

Can we all forgive? It's the first step to making this better.
No, but sure is nice to see who I'm being told to "fellowship" with when I read the CRAP they're posting about me elsewhere!

You and I will have to agree to disagree on that. I don't believe that it was gossip about another's marital life. It was relaying a message for a wounded wife who was afraid to post herself. But let's not get into that again.

I have only two questions with where this thread headed. One: would Christ act like this? Is this what you all really want for the forum?
Bill, Christ might actually turn over tables with some... or call people harsh names like "sons of hell" or "vipers"...
I've seen Jesus do both when it came to serious damage & issues to the faith.... so I don't truly know which He might do in this case.
I truly don't. I doubt He finds it pleasing to have people posting hate posts in one area then coming here to be friendly or try to bait....

And this is why there can't be forgiveness. Those that have committed wrongs don't want to acknowledge that they've done wrong.

So long as these issues persist, any sense of "peace" will be short-lived.

I agree, but we do have a choice in how we respond. Baiting can be dealt with through reports, so can a lot of these other problems by the rules in place. If we want this forum healthy again we need to start ignoring and even using the ignore feature if needed, but this must stop somewhere or there will not be a forum left to fight over and isnt that really the goal of anyone that comes in to stir things up? If it is then everyone who responds in kind and keeps it going is letting them win.

Motive is everything isn't it. Nice.
