  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There's a professor in the English department here called William Blake! Isn't that awesome? I wonder if his name influenced his career choice, or if his parents were just literary nuts who forced it upon him from his birth.

I also know a couple grad students with the last name Hu. So when they finish, they'll be Dr. Hu! :clap:

I'm sure every school has some funny coincidences like that. Do you know of any.

I have a friend who had a history professor with the last name Stoner. A friend from church has a professor with the last name Pintas (not sure how it's spelled) that rhymes with Pinches and apparently he's not a very nice guy, lol.

I don't think I've had any weird ones..

My history prof. has a last name that translates to 'No Church' or 'New Church' depending on how you translate it to English.
