• 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.

Do you dare say?!

How many CF usernames have you had? I guess some people don't want their regular reputations tanished, so they resort to new usernames when they want feedback on CF but want to stay anonymous.

I've had 2. The one I'm using now, and one that got lost in the Great CF Crash of 2003 (not telling you, though ;) ).

I've only had one username the whole time I've been here. My username is my real first name and I DON'T CARE IF THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT! :D

Same here, Tami!

Emma-Jane is on everything from my birth certificate to the GMC Medical Register. So what if the whole world knows it!?

one. i don't see the point of pretending to be someone else when there is little chance that any of us will ever actually meet in person. It isn't like "real life" repurcussions could take place if we tread on someones toes from time to time.

I hope that people find me innoffensive on the whole, but i'm really not going to lose sleep about it if any one disagrees with my viewpoint, understanding, beliefs. I'm me, like me or don't. Perhaps it would be interesting to form another "personality", but i dislike the idea of misleading people.

I reckon most of us agree with UKOK, and we're pretty genuine.

Maybe we SHOULD all meet up - have an annual meeting, there are load of people here I'd like to meet in person!

(Of course, those with several CF alter-egos will have to choose their persona for the day!)

This is me, the whole me and nothing but the me. It can be a little tempting at times to post something semi-annonymously, but for those who know me, I'm afraid they'd see right through it anyway.


BTW, emmajane, I love your avatar pic. I lost my hedgehog (Wilbur) a few months ago - they don't have the longest lifespans. Cutest face on a pet I've ever had!
