• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Are you worried about people you know in real life coming onto CF and reading all your posts?? I am. I spill my guts on here, and I don't care about you guys judging me, so I haven't really represented myself very well. Posted about a lot of embarassing stuff in retrospect.

One of my friends just walked in and looked at my screen for a while before I realised. He's not the type to spy on someone online, but I'm afraid because now he has the potential to.

What do I do?

Honestly the opinions of others do not matter to me. I am proud to be who I am. Which also leads to the fact that who I am online, is who I am in real life. There's nothing I would post here that I wouldn't tell people in RL.

I don't spill my guts here, and I don't really have any offline friends who would want to know my business, so no, I don't have that worry. I have written some VERY personal posts on CF (in other sections) but there's really no way someone would know how to find them, since I have my post search feature disabled.

I'll tell a total stranger my life story. I've found it to be perhaps the most liberating process in my life. Suppressing our feelings and living two lives (so to speak) is recipe for stress and misery.

Can someone please try and see if you can search for my posts?

If you're that concerned, maybe you could change your nick? FYI (if you're not aware) someone would have to register to see your profile ... guests cannot see them.
