  • 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.

A common feature on many a forum.......
So, I suppose it's been done here as well, but the search function doesn't really help me.
So, I'm starting one, because those intriging names must be explained.

My own name comes from a RPG where an NPC I played had the name Prince Lucianus. Since we played it very often and got loads of mail concerning it, I made an email adress using the prime NPC I had.
One of my friends characters was demeaning this powerfull figure by calling him Lucy all the time, and somehow it stuck and I've been using it on the fora I visit(ed)

When foreigners come over -who I've met over the internet to play in an international boardgame tournament- they simply call me....

Lucy

In the constellation of cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The black hole
Of cygnus x-1

Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sister’s loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night....

I like to think of myself as malevolent... and well, milkmen seem harmless enough and I liked the sound. Also milkmen used to be the lonely house wife's poolboy. After I started using it I found out about the Milkman Dan comic strip... truely it was fate that made me choose this name since Milkman Dan is everything that I aspire to someday be.

"Eudaimonist" refers to my philosophical convictions. Members of the Fellowship of Reason generally call themselves Eudaimonists. Here is a thumbnail description from my profile:

As a Eudaimonist, I think the greatest moral achievement is the flourishing -- the self-actualization and happiness -- of the individual in this life, which requires such means as rationality, good character, and friendship.

Old Dark Age of Camelot name. I used to be into MMOs and I figured there was a possibility someone here might recognize me (as I knew a lot of people on the VN boards). I'm not into MMOs anymore. They are a huge vaccum that sucks up your time; the character that is from my user name has over a month of straight logged play time, and that just isn't cool (especially when I decided that ultimately, the game wasn't even that fun).
