  • 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.

The only problem I view this is some scientists may be competing with each other to get their paper published first. But I think a two fold system would be a pretty neat idea, especially with the internet being as widespread as it is.
There's always a rush to get published -- particularly when one's tenure depends on it (usually a submitted or even accepted paper is not good enough). However, any real debate over who published first is usually resolved by received dates, not published dates.

Of course, if your paper was received first, yet the same work is published even a month before yours, the community will forever remember them as the "first" even if you get official credit... Still, as papers generally go through at least two revisions, I don't see why one couldn't have concurrent open and peer-review.
