  • 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.

I want to give it to Erwin. :hug: I have good reasons.

IMO It is the best thing, the nicest thing, the right thing.

But more than that it is the only totally SAFE place for the grail.

Don't you all think that its protection should be above any of our personal desires?

None of us are completely safe from being permanently banned. If the one holding the grail or even the person in control of the sock puppet should be banned.... there goes our grail.

So I say give it to Erwin, not only for safety, but because I totally appreciate him, and his forum!

Or at least have Erwin create the sock puppet so we know that it will live here as long as the forum survives.

If someone were banned, Erwin could easily get the grail back to one of us for one thing. For another, I think that a good idea would be for Erwin to create the sockpuppet for the grail or for just one of us members to create the sockpuppet.

No.

First, the "banning" reason is flawed. Erwin could easily retrieve the grail from the banned person's account.

Second, if Erwin wanted a grail, he could easily get the blessings himself.

Third, its better to share it amongst all at CF. Why should one person or one group hold on to it and refuse to share?

I say share it, but retain official ownership, just like Catholicism is in the world.

Well, I asked the other day about creating a Pope Benedict account, but Erwin said "No".

Then someone else should create a sockpuppet account.

I would like to share the grail. As we have it early due to the Lutherans giving us their blessings, it would be a nice gesture to share it with them. An option would be to create a sock account to hold the grail. Wherever the sock posted, the grail would reside, thus allowing us to truly share the fruits of our efforts- it could therefore be here and with the Lutherans at the same time. We could also offer the other forums an opportunity to have the grail posted there too, if they so wanted it, and it could be stickied if necessary to stop it getting "lost".
Just a thought...

How about someone creates a "St. Peter" account; have a couple of people here know the password; place St. Peter in a sticky in our forum and have himhave the Grail there?

cheers
