  • 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.

Anybody ever been there? (Warning: It's an anti-fundy site. If mockery or naughty language offend you, don't go there.)

I just found out one of my online remarks is quoted there. (From another board, where I post as X777.)

When I heard I was quoted there, I was actually a bit disappointed to find that the quote they found so objectionable was really fairly tame.

we've had problems with that site for a while. It has been mentioned time and time again.

It has a bad rep also. That is why I don't bother posting there.

The same can be said of Baptistboard.com also.

Now if your anti-calvinist, thats the place for you to be.

I wouldn't let it bother you.

God Bless

Till all are one.

I hadn't heard of it before, but you aroused my curiosity, so I went to check it out.

IMHO not worth your, or anyone's, time. They're just mockers, playing "I'm ok, you're ok, he's not ok."

There are some things that bug me about fundies, but that wouldn't be a good place to air them. That would elicit derision only, and no insight.

Oh! I didn't even realize they had their own forum!

I had been pointed to the page where one can search their archive of fundy quotations.

Just for kicks, I posted (on another site I frequent) a little thread of brusque furndy-ish remarks, so they can have some better material on me -- assuming they get around to "crawling" that site again.

I just went there now to check it out.....how come I'm not there?:ebil:

What a sad little forum....sheesh, how do they have the time to trawl through various sites and get those quotes? They must seriously have nothing to do...:yawn:

Yeah, I wondered aloud -- well, a-keyboard, actually -- why you and Josh weren't there.

Then Loryn griped that they *and I* left her out.

Shortcake (or someone) speculated that Yoda might have given them our quotes, since TB is a small and likely obscure site.

AHA!!! YODA!! :idea: That naughty gremlin, now why wouldn't that surprise me?!:sick: yeah, cos it's weird that anyone would have quotes from TB!

LOL at Loryn, what about Shortcake? Did she end up in their hall of fame? I'm surprised that Josh and I didn't get a mention, especially Josh, he's the mega fundie to beat all mega fundies. :D^_^

Shortcake and Hiram were quoted. Hiram is no surprise. Shortcake... well, apart from being a doobie-smoking non-inerrantist with unconventional conceptions of "hell," I guess she's a pretty regular fundy.

But my lone quote got a fairly high "fundy" rating, so -- Yay, me!

I search that site now and then to see if I've been quoted. None so far :( ;). In fact I've found that very few fundies from CF ever get quoted. Lots of others do, including Catholics and Atheists, etc.

I did find a real doozie today though and the person who posted it does say/believe they are a fundie. That one made me cringe. Yikes. But overall, I find there are few comments that really qualify. They're just poking fun at Christians and doing a terrible job of it! lol.

I was quoted there once and you wouldn't believe the remarks that were made about me. They were saying things like I should be murdered and that I rode the "short bus" to school and all sorts of other derisive, derogatory, and sheerly hateful things. They are nothing but a bunch of bigots over there. I personally wish the site would be shut down for good.

I find it highly amusing that *I'm* quoted there.

Though, the comment was badly misrepresented, taken out of context and really meant the opposite of what it appeared to.

I'm pretty sure that somebody did that on purpose, thinking they were getting back at me for something.

Really sad - I kinda view them as the type of crowds who go to the Jerry Springer show & hurl insults from the audience as they judge the guests.
Same mentality if you ask me.
People who feel the need to mock & attack others have their own personal issues of inadequacy and inferiority & seek to bully others to make themselves appear more acceptable.
Net bullies that need to get out of mom's dank basement & get a real job out there. :thumbsup:

I'm not on there. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough?

I noticed that on another one of those types of sites. They took stuff out of context and spun it into something it wasn't. But I agree, most of it I think is just to mock Christians.

All I can say is, they should take a look at their own conduct to notice that they are equally obnoxious, harsh, hateful & "evil" as the fundies they're trying lynch for being the same.
I see nothing different in what they're doing to others. Talk about hypocrisy.... :sigh:

I agree Nadiine. It is really sad and these people who chose to bully me must have some sort of inadequacy and inferiority problems.

Well we're in good company, they mocked Jesus too - & He told us that we'd be persecuted for His names sake.
(altho I do have to admit that I don't agree with all fundamentalists statements - some do have a bad way of witnessing, and if they are truly Christians, they need some love of God in them to reach the lost).

Agreed...
I checked their page out and they even have me quoted on there, with comments to poke fun and all that.

I got a rating of 3.09 on the fundy scale, which apparently means I'm more fundie than I am not. Oh well... I'm actually a tad humored to be included.

I see one difference. Instead of doing it *here* or on other regular forums, they take their frustration off to a different little corner of the internet, designed specifically for ranting and venting frustration. The few times I have posted comments there, it was because I was so hurt and angry over what was said that I needed to say something, but I knew if I responded on the regular board, I wouldn't be able to be polite and would end up hurting somebody else. The people who are saying things like
fstdt said:
You wouldn't know if he was standing right next to you. Or maybe you would, BECAUSE I'LL PRAY TO GOD THAT HE'LL SMACK YOUR TEETH IN!

are actually attacking the person "to their face."
And often, people do go and read the thread, and when something is taken completely out of context, somebody points that out.

Also worth pointing out that Muslim, New Age and even occasionally Hindu, atheist, and secular fundies are included on the mainpage.

Seriously you guys can't think that the highlighting of quotes about how neat it is to beat your children and enslave your wife are really "bullying"?
