• 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.

Can we please have the silly hats removed. I find them irritating and unnecessary.

I find these a distraction and designed to belittle the serious exchanges that take place.

We should be able to opt out of such insensitivity. This is not a child's classroom - it is much more serious.

Likewise the falling leaves are an unnecessary distraction - please can we turn them off.

All that green confetti/leafy stuff has gone down the back of my couch.

Can CF please send somebody out with a vacuum cleaner to clean it up?

Thanks

OB


You can't pin that on CF. Maybe it was planted there.

I don't think it's all that bad. I find it quite entertaining!

However if I even would try to put a hat on any of our pets ... Chaos! I'd probably need a blood transfusion and a hospital bill.

I like it!

I was under the impression that the hats are

Guy Fawkes (1570 – 1606) hats...

...You know - as in: Gunpowder Plot . :)

See picture of the conspiators below:
