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 know how to play Go (or Igo). But I am an unranked player who know some openning moves, can play tactics decently, but have a poor feel of strategy (i.e. can guess, but can't determine for certain what is the best move for expansion).

I know how the pieces move, and some opening sequence, but can't see very far ahead, and always forget about paradroppping. The first time I played was with a japanese master. He gave me a tremendous handicap - nothing except the King, Gold and Silver generals, and pawns. It was vey ugly for me...

I've played 2 or 3 games of Go against my uncle, who is a pretty strong chess player. Chess I have no problem with, Go is a totally different story. The rules are easy, the concepts are very deep.

I have just started playing go and have played 3 9*9 and one 13*13 game
against a slightly more experienced friend. It was good fun to play a mental
game without the pressure to meet a certain standard of play that I feel when I
play chess. It strikes me as an excellent game, and it would be fascinating to
really get into it and plumb some of its depths.
