that's not necessarily an indication of a double standard and the negative connotation that would carries.
it's an indication of ambiguity.
it strikes me that CF's structure tends to try and rule away and define away ambiguity.
why this is so I do not know.
I say, live with the ambiguity.
personally, i would rather do away with it. why? it's not fair to anyone in the forum. and it's more than abiguity.
to give us reports for us mods to deal with, and still stand on some kind of idea that we can't define this forum, is nothing but double standardness in a negative connotation, very negative. it is unfair to those who are getting reported on, because it's an invisible rule that they don't know about and then what's next?
it's beyond ambiguity at this point.
interesting. why do away with WWMC rather than redefine the rule?
my point is that CF's governing philosophy, as I see it acted out on a daily basis, is to allow division upon division upon division, flying in the face of the mission. WWMC is an opportunity to do something different.
i'm not up for redefining the rules why? this forum is privately owned and ran, and i, as well as you, and everyone else agreed to the terms, conditions and rules. thus they need to be in affect and all fairness must be administered in the congregational forums, instead of letting things slip by. we are allowed to post here, have a membership here for FREE, so to demand reformation or whatever is unfair in my opinion.
sure when things are blatantly bad, they need to be fixed. but it isn't bad for this forum to have it setup this way. just because it is privately owned, and we accepted a contract.
i'm not concerned with the whole of CF anyways...just WWMC. and i'd rather see it conform to the system to some degree, so us mods can more fairly, justly do our jobs, and so you guys can have more freedom to express yourself, without people coming in and debating all the time, and saying how wrong we all are. CF is full of that nonsense, and you can see it face to face all you want wherever you want to go, but others do want to see it all the time.
What's debate? Something you know when you see it?
Again, I'd rather meet people face to face on the level and have the opportunity to engage
what does this have to do with anything? you can do that already. we are talking about outlined definitions to secure the forum, just as all the other ones do.
debate is welcome here as long as it is within the congregational forum, and who is allowed to do that? and we know what debate is, i don't see how that is with this topic at all to question what it is.
So WWMC is anamolous. So what? Why is there a compelling need to see it defined just like all the other congregational forums? And what, specifically, is PC about wanting to be able to openly welcome all people? I would describe that as Christian, not PC.
because it is in a section here at CF that has definitions to define itself as a congregation community. it's shows a structure that cannot be stable if there is one little block that is unstable and can't fit in with the rest of the structure.
all the congregational forums welcome all, that will never change, but it seems rather ridiculous that here we are, no definition, nothing setup to make this a concrete congretional area, and we are resorted as mods to moderate on what kind of level? biasedness? invisible acceptance list of who the regulars are, while people blindly come in and not mean to violate the rules and then what do we have to do as mods? one can't honestly enforce the rules that the posters want us to inforce if there is nothing official in this to give warnings on that CF has accepted.
it seems nothing but PC nonsense to me, why we are afraid to make this the same way as every other congregational forum here at CF. too afraid to define our little part here at CF for, who knows what reason. i haven't seen any yet. and yet, still have the audacity to report threads of ousides coming in and debating?
i don't understand this.
i will not be online probably the rest of the day and night. i'm getting ready to go to the gymn and then i need to nap for work. so if you don't get a response till tomorrow, that's why. God Bless you bro.
