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.

Annoying & impatient drivers who freak out just because my red light text might spill into the green light for 10 - 15 seconds

Being addressed, at my age, as "young lady."
Just don't. That's what you call a child, when you're scolding her.

Exact opposite here. I'd rather be called "ma'am" than "young lady."
I suppose it depends on where you grew up. Where I come from (Southern US) "ma'am" is a term of respect for all adult women, and has nothing to do with how old they are. To me, "miss" sounds condescending, although not as bad as "young lady." By dictionary definition, a "miss" is a girl or an unmarried woman. I am a married adult; therefore I am "ma'am."
I'd be interested in knowing how other women feel about it. I'll probably start a poll in the women's forum.
ETA: Poll here. (Accessible to women only.)

Clerks who say absolutely nothing at all to me lol. Did you ever stand in a store for 10 minutes and the clerk doesn't even acknowledge your existence?
