  • 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.

I once heard a comedian say that you can can tell that you have a bad job if it takes more than a couple of words to tell someone what you do:D

But really I think it's all a matter of giving yourself a snazzy title. For instance, when my boss asked me what my husband does, I said, "He works for [major internet bookseller]. He makes sure the books in the warehouse are stored in a way that makes sense." And my boss replied, "So he's an industrial librarian."

I was on a boat once in Alaska, and this lady came up and asked me some really specific question about sea lions. So I stared at her blankly for several seconds. She said, "Well, you're the naturalist, aren't you?" and I'm like, "No, I'm the musicologist." I had borrowed some good rain gear from a fisherman friend for the day, so I guess I looked like I knew stuff. I'll have to remember that trick for future job interviews.
