  • 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

The way I ask for help is just telling them my problems and how I need help. I'm willing to work around their schedule, and whatever is convenient for them.

I don't badger them or pester them about it incessantly. If I ask for help with something, then I'll wait a bit, and if nothing, then I'll just try calling them to see what is up.

If it's not going to be feasible or will be an inconvenience for them to help, then I don't bother asking, or say I if it what I'm asking for help will be problematic, then I won't.

I'm as polite and nice about it as humanly possible. However if somebody says they will help and keeps blowing me off, then yes I will get irritated.

I try to confront them about it nicely and with tact, if they said they would help, but don't do what they said they would. Even Jesus said let your yes be yes and your no be no.
