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.
Happy New Year!

That is sooo politically incorrect. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some professor tells us we need to scrap the calendar so people's feelings aren't hurt.
ETA: Happy AD 2017 to you too!

You haven't heard? Much of academia uses "CE" . . . short for Common Era . . . instead of AD. The same numbers are used, only the alternate descriptor. BC dates are called BCE . . . for "Before Common Era".

Yes I've heard, but yet...but yet...there are so many of us outside academia still suffering under those oppressive letters.

I somehow get the impression that 'much of academia' would just use 2017 and not fool with AD or CE.

Whatever their personal tastes on the matter, there are occasions when they cannot avoid making the specification.

Thank you for demonstrating diabolical mimicry.
Isaiah 14:14b I will be like the most High.
Now all we need is for scientists to complain that "Happy New Year" promotes Christianity over Nordic Wiccan mythology.
