  • 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

I'm leaving the CC for good it's quite clear that any sign of desent is going to be meet with harsh personal attacks so I'm leaving now. You have also shown me some of you are paraniod need to learn to give fellow believers the benfit of the doubt rather than asuming that they are out to get you.
Also just so you know my whole conern over using the word traditional and tradition is over the course of my time here of have recieved numerous hate filled pms and e-mails from christian members because I'm a gamer and my interest in anime they also loved to use the words tradition and traditional. I figure it's only matter of time before it started up again and they would use your justify going after me publicly.
I'm just tried harassed by extremist on this board because of a acouple of my hobbies and felt the wording in the wiki was giving them an inivation to do so.

If they are running people out of here for liking anime then I will take myself out of here as well. :p (j/k)

I hope you do not leave. A few people do not a forum make. I can not seriously believe anyone would have a problem with something as harmless as anime but just ignore them.

I'm a gamer, not a big anime fan, but thats more an issue of taste I guess. I play RPG's that *gasp* use dice other than six sided!! :) surely a sign of the devil.

I think everyone around here is edgy because of their experiences elsewhere in CF and its making people more touchy here.

Some of you are afraid that the word traditional will be used to exclude you, or open you up to attack. Others, including myself, are so frustrated with the over-whelming liberal non-sense that we've had to put up with else where that we're very touchy about any perceived liberalism here.

We should all probably just take a step back and take a few deep breaths.

I'd just like to go on record here and say that I'm a PC-gamer myself, as is my husband (although less-so now than at times in the past as it's kind of expensive! LOL). And my daughters are all very big fans of anime and manga (they are budding artists).

As a matter-of-fact my eldest daughter is creating a Christian-themed manga, and has been working on it for the last few years already. So, although some anime/manga is what I would consider inappropriate obviously not all of it is...

I'm sorry to hear you've been harassed by people through the PM system. It's not right to attack others based upon presumptions in regards to their hobbies. You may wish to report those people that harassed you -- I know you can report PMs just like one would report posts, etc...

Regardless of your decision to stay within the CC section or not (and I would like you to stay), I hope to see you around the rest of CF! I've enjoyed your posts.

Sincerely,
Tangeloper

I may have been a bit hasty in annoucing my departure but there are some real issues to address because frankly what was done to me yesterday was just plain wrong. You shouldn't be trying to turn an opinion on the wording in the wiki into allegations have wanting a religous movement out of the CC.

Does playing solitaire qualify as a PC gamer? ;)

Seriously, we need to leave the slings and arrows of the rest of CF in the rest of CF. Let's use this area as a sanctuary from all that. In fact, since posting here, I have not had the slightest desire to go to GT and call the pope the anti-christ! :thumbsup: So perhaps there's something to this ecumenical business - as long as those I'm being ecumenical with are conservatives - Traditional, traditional or sola anything! :hug:

I think it has been resolved. People are apologizing and saying they wished they had not started it.

Aw Cyber...don't go...:(

I don't know what's happened the past week since my computer wasn't up and running. As someone said, one person doesn't make the forum, and I hope you've connected with some people you enjoy talking with here. :) Just take a breather.

Besides, what's a gamer? I've heard that term recently and don't know exactly what it is. Is it someone who enjoys playing video games? If so...well...I'm a Legend of Zelda freak...:D

Don't go Cyber

please!

I was just having a really bad day yesterday, please forgive me :sorry:

None of this was your fault really and if my attitude was better it would not have bothered me at all. I have been sort of having to deal with genez and his attacking my Faith rigorously in another thread. I can post something to someone else and it can be something totally benign and he turns it into this whole anti-Catholic rhetoric thing with every post he makes. Between that and another poster I felt inundated, and constantly under attack as being called UnChristian because of my Faith so I was just touchy. Really Touchy!

Please don't go because I had a bad day!

Lovingly In Christ

Uh Cyber I really hope you are not overacting to some random pm that a non-regular poster sent you. I haven't seen any legalism in this forum and no matter what anyone says I think dicussion of various topics even if contraversial is healthy.
Over reacting? It's how he feels NewGuy.

CP...it's ok. :hug: Sounds like everyone is just a little edgy. Me included.

Feelings are not a justification for leaving ;)
Sometimes they are .... you have to remember we are real people with real feeling that can be hurt and harmed behind these words that you see on the screen. The people that type these words are real human beings.

We should all acknowledge one another as being real individuals not just some words on a screen, and if we did that then most of the time we would get along a whole lot better.

Peoples hearts don't stop at their keyboards.....

The words we type are merely an extension of our hearts and minds and soul in many instances, especially when it comes to something as personal as Faith and God...
