  • 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.

When I started CF I used a black and white photo of my eye. Since then I've animated it but am not using it at the moment. My current one is just one I found on the net. Avatar file size is sort of limited here, so I'm not sure what, if anything I'll do with it.

Eye represents sight, perception, mind, of course. A forum member that hates me now and goes to another site was so impressed initially that she made one for herself. She even writes music like me too. :wave:Hi. Gonna come back and say hello?

My avatars used to be selfies of me, but then I found this artist's angel series online, and have been following it. so my avatars are mainly of them. The angels are unconventional, sometimes brooding, or without wings. I don't believe angels exist, but the artwork of them has always intrigued me. :)

OK to day mine is something interesting I saw when looking at these type of typographical maps of the usa. because I am all into elevation .
so the first interesting thing I noticed is how the Ozarks was once part of the south end of the blue ridge mountain range. see how chunks have fallen off of the land mass as it was moving away from the east when there had to be tons of water because those mountains were moved .
the second thing I found was the ozarks looks like a huge purple people eater or huge dino or giant fat alligator or something and so clearly is in it's belly is a rising Phoenix and it looks like it has a long serpent in it's mouth.
and God talks about the stars crying out, and that the rocks can be crying out , can the mountains cry out ? so why not the mountains or is that the same a the rocks ? so it just screamed IS 23 and 24 at me.

My current one is the classic film actor William Holden. The pic is of him playing one of my favorite movie characters - Sgt. J.J. Sefton in 'Stalag 17'.

If there are two movies that represent my personality in a nutshell, they are Sgt. Sefton in Stalag 17 and Rick Blaine (Bogart in Casablanca).

My fiancé Justin sent me this picture one day. I'm not sure where he found it but he said it was such a close resemblance of me. He is away at college and he has this picture in his wallet. I know he has so many real pictures of me as well but this one seems to be his favourite and it's kind of cute haha :)

My grandmother had red hair, she passed away earlier this year. She looked strikingly like this, when she was younger. She meant the world to me, and this avatar will be a nice reminder. (it's another painting. I like paintings as avatars) :)

Doesn't it seem a little strange that he has a picture of another woman that looks like you in his wallet instead of actually you?

That's really, really odd lol.
