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.

Oh, Protestant Affairs Director.
So what does a PAD do? What are Protestant Affairs? Sounds like a TV show on FOX or something...
Does that mean someone is a CAD? Catholic Affairs Director. And who is the CAD...
If we had a Baptist Affairs Director, would he or she be BAD?
We could have one for the Fundamentalists but maybe that would just be a FAD...
<<I could go on...>>

you are on a roll, Menno.
I was looking for a public thread that talks about what the PAD is, and can't find one. I have a very tiny idea myself, and what I do know seems to be private information. Don't know what to tell ya, man.
So long as I'm not the Spirit-filled Affairs Director; that'd be SAD!

Actually, I've been pseudo-following this brouhaha for a while now. I'm new to the boards, but in a community this size I think it's fairly important to have a basic understanding of how it's run.
From what I've been able to figure out, there is a Webmaster, Erwin, who has final say in things. Under him is the Executive Committee, which has five people -- the Operations Director and the four members of the Ecumenical Review Committee. The committee consists of the Ecumenical Director/Site Chaplain, the Orthodox Affairs Director (OAD), the Catholic Affairs Director (CAD), and the Protestant Affairs Director (PAD). It's nominations for a new PAD that are being discussed now.
It's my understanding that these folks get involved when issues that can't be decided at the mod/supervisor level. The OAD, CAD, and PAD represent the doctrinal issues and concerns that each of these major branches of Christianity tend to have. Their job descriptions say that they are supposed to make sure that the site as a whole is being fair to Orthodox/Catholics/Protestants members.

Hi synger,
Sounds like you've got a grip on the politics of this place...let's see, you're Lutheran and they probably ought to have an affairs director...syngerLAD has a certain ring to it...
...I can't help myself.

*snickers* Yes, you could. You chose not to.
Although with a name like syngerLAD I think I'd have to chime in on the thread about women wearing skirts... just so people are sure of my gender.
*can already tell she's going to be humming "Have you ever seen a Laddie?" all the way home*
