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.

I think part of the problem is that the reports have become very stressful
but not just in CC, that is a site wide problem. Mods have their hands tied when dealing with problems and yet we are held accountable when justice can not be found.
I am how ever seeing a growning trend that I am happy about. I am finding more and more, that you folks are reaching out your hearts to those who come here and cause problems, small problems of course, the big problems, well, we're doing the best we can.
Thanks Edie for a great post
I agree

OK, the next thread I read showed me what you meant. Thanks!
I agree with you,
Edie, regarding how this forum is and should remain. But I also am with Auntie in regard to being in the dark about where the poor behavior is being displayed.
It's one thing to say "do right" because we can all use the encouragement. But to say "stop doing wrong" needs some direction regarding what behavior is included. Maybe this is a case of "You would know if you were guilty." in which case feel free to tell me "never mind." The details above are just too vague for me.
I do thank you for your overall theme encouraging a supportive, encouraging, uplifting forum!
God bless!

John,
I didn't give examples because I don't want to be accusatory to any one person. I look at myself too and see behavior not to be proud of.
My post was more along the line of a gentle reminder of who we are, who we should emulate and the purpose of our fellowshipping here.

The rest of the "One Another" verses - thanks to Jim!
There is so much meat in these, so much to absorb and incorporate into all we do on this site and elsewhere in our lives that we would pay close attention to our Lord's admonishments w/r to how we treat one another.
God bless you all!!
