• 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.

Counterproductivity has a good number of faces, I'm sure, and this one is rendering its share of frustration.

Proceedings have really soured for me in respect to CLEAR DIALOG. Take your pick of oath 'keepers', confirmation hearings, committee hearings or every form of reported testimony, yes and no answers are dead! The more 'insightful' responses are 99% of the time classic examples of stonewalling and forcing the evidence-packed questioner to always conclude: "So, you're not annswering!"

Could contempt's bar be raised to accommodate the obvious?
