  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Americans often get frustrated when enemies of the American political system assert in American courts rights that they would not be able to assert in their own countries, especially when the bill is being footed by the American tax-payer. We find it just a tad hypocrital. I have observed a similar situation on the internet with its collection of discussion forums. Each individual has the right to establish the rules of acceptable behavior for his forum. I know one individual who is very insulting to those who do not subscribe to his particular brand of Christian doctrine. While I find that distasteful, I can't be angry since I have the option of avoiding that website. What does irk me is when individuals of that ilk then go to other websites where such behavior is not accepted and are the first to scream and complain when a post addressed to them appears to violate those lofty rules.
