Once there was a boy whose parents named him Odd. Other children used to tease him about his name. As he grew up, people continued to make fun of his name, calling him 'oddball' and all sorts of other names. "What an odd name you have!" they would joke. Finally, as an old man, he wrote out his last wishes. "I've been the butt of jokes all my life," he said. "I'll not have people making fun of me after I'm gone." He instructed that his tombstone not bear his name. After his death, people walking past would notice the large blank stone and say, "That's odd."

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.
