• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

How can I help?

Really?

Unlike many I am not afraid to have discussions with and Christians whether they be liberal or conservative and I am really tired of all the legalism, in threads and in reports.




What is your point Steve? My comments were directed not at people, but problems.

Me, too, Tish. It has been VERY effective in TCL.
Effective if staff has no BIAS sure...
does ours?? I've seen quite a few here who turn a blind eye to some people causing direct trouble & contention...
making excuses in fact. How does a biased staff deal with those they agree with?

Nadine, if you want to debate who is more conservative I am game.. Just start a new thread and send me a link. I know you know scriptre well as I've observed over the last couple years , so this should be fun, but your comment above is really in bad taste and quite untrue. I am a WELS Lutheran and have been for 52 years. We are know as the most conservative of conservatives, ask anyone.

YOUR staff has not been bias at all, Nadiine. I suggest you go read ALL the reports, because YOUR staff has been quite diligent in being unbiased.

And to clarify, I'm not your staff. I will not mod this forum whatsoever, especially after seeing all the crap that has been thrown at this forum's mods.

I thought I said "IF" it's biased.
I don't personally know --
And... you were part of this "crap" yourself... so I think you should be a little less "finger pointing" in this statement as if you have nothing to do w/ the issues around here.
Jim was the one that used the legalistic term tho...

I love how you can read so much into my posts, Nadiine.

I didn't finger point at anyone, sorry if you're feeling convicted for some reason.

I merely pointed out that I wouldn't want to be a mod here after seeing all the crap thrown at the mods. How on earth is this fingerpointing? Who did I call out? Who did I accuse?

THIS is part of the problem - you guys are so quick to jump at things like this and make a mountain out of it.

You said "IF" and I replied that they have been very unbiased. If you doubt that, go read the reports.

STOP taking everything like it is an attack on you.

Oh, and I haven't been reported for anything here, so my posts have not added work for mods. In fact, I've refrained from reporting most of the reportable posts because I didn't want to give them extra work on top of what they're already dealing with.

Just for the record and all.

I am a WELS Lutheran and have been for 52 years. We are know as the most conservative of conservatives, ask anyone.
my comment was about a few OTHERS that turned a blind eye to some troublemakers -- not you Jim. They were also not mods here - they were members.
But the members were/are your friends.
When I confronted a rude post by someone, I GOT REPRIMANDED and scolded for not asking him what job he held.
(as if he asked the person he attacked what job he held??)
That is what I'm referring to in my post (which I've said in 1 other post).

And no, this isn't a contest on who's more conservative, nor did I say that -- I've had some pm's of different mods that oversee this forum related w/ IIDB, I have yet to see the evidence, but I've gotten some pm's on issues.
I read your comment on legalistic and it does seem unreasonable.

What I have said weeks ago and say yet again today is this, I am tired of making posts and have people (who have issues w/ me) make rude comments and comments of correction as to how I posted it & what I said.

It became a constant pattern - that's what started alot of what's going on. Intimidation to "act & think like us, or we'll just post "sigh" faces and "sad" faces in protest to your statements or reply.
I don't appreciate it and most others wouldn't either. I dont' go attacking peoples warm fuzzy posts when people are clearly causing trouble - they get rewarded for bad behaviour - BUT I SAY NOTHING to them in a post to mock or show my disgust.

Others have felt this as well; it wasn't just to me.

So that's the background of where I'm coming from on this issue.
And if people are going to publically accuse of staff bias, I'd like the proof pm'd - becuz I don't just blindly accept accusations against people.

I haven't reported alot either. On purpose. I only reported what I found was a seriously nasty or abusive post.

I didn't want to tie up our mods either - things I report are things that I feel should not be on any board for people to read - that should be deleted.

I think this thread needs a cooling off period,

and for the record I will not take part in any rule changes or help you decide if you want to change them or not.

I came here because this forum gets more reports then any other forum in ET. It has also lost more good folks as members then any other forum. I get these comments from CC folks all the time in PMs. Does that sound like a problem to you or am I all wet? :)

Have a nice night everyone.
