• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hello @returntosender, since the spelling of the word is the same in this case, invalid (bedridden) and invalid (false), we are all free to choose whichever "arbitrary connection" we like the most in the moment

As I said in the OP, the "connection" is made between the newest word and the word that was used in the previous post, alone (with no requirements beyond that .. IOW, no requirements to ~OR~ not to follow the train of thought in the thread that led up to the word that we are making our new connection with).

I think we tried requiring that with one of the other word association threads, but it quickly fizzled out because it became too difficult for people to keep the thread going when we also required everybody to keep the train of thought going too.

So (again), look at the last word posted and make an arbitrary connection with it ~in whatever way pleases you the most~ (this means that it is yours to choose whether to follow the train of thought that already exists in the thread .. cf Wheelchair>Invalid>Bedridden, or to begin a new train of thought instead .. cf Wheelchair>Invalid>False).

I hope that explains it (check out what I said in the OP too if you'd like to).

p.s. - back to the game...................
