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.

Saturn's moon Mimas and the dwarf moon Pandora (so small it lacks sufficient gravity to become a sphere). Taken by the Cassini probe in 2013.
Whoa...the deathstar...!

Photo from the Devon and Exeter Crematorium, the resting place of my natural father whose ashes were scattered there in the late 1970's.
When I was very young, I was placed into the care system and lived in a children's home for most of my childhood, well over a decade. My mother could not take care of me due to her severe mental health problems and neither could my father who was so desperately ill with a terminal illness. Even today I cannot imagine the pain and suffering my father went through, but I remember him walking me to the sweet shop and getting sweets for me - a tube of Smarties which he knew I loved. I remember the time he tried to look after and nurse we when I had a broken nail and tried to look after it and nurse it. He watched over me and cared for me with such precision and detail. I remember the many times he carried me on his shoulders in the most horrendous of weather conditions to the children's home making sure I was protected and I was safe. En-route I would often lose control of my bladder, yet he was so gentle and so kind, despite how weak and ill he was. He would often sit with me trying to teach me how to play board games such as chess and I am convinced, even to this day, that my love for music and piano playing comes from him who was such a great pianist.
