• 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.

It can be frustrating at times, Broken Fence. But as one who has been "reported" by assorted posters her on C.F. 3 or 4 times over the past few years, for who knows exactly what reason (political, maybe?), I just let it roll and continue to interact with other folks. I even remain committed to a personal policy of NEVER reporting others here on C.F., even if I don't like their viewpoint or I think they may be trolls.

No matter what we do, since there is such a wide variety of people involved in these forums, there is always the likelihood for some head-butting with others or for others to simply try to remove our opinion from the public place. With that said, this is one reason why I scarcely enter into the political forums because some of these people are way too invested in their political ideology---some are atheists and don't care how they oppose Christians; and some Christians here apparently think their choice of political parties emanates somehow from the power of the Holy Spirit and/or the Bible.

Unless you're looking to take on any viewpoint like I might, just try to find that 10 to 20% of fellow Christians here who may share your own general angle on things and focus on talking to them for the most part. You'll probably feel better that way. :cool:

Very good advice. Thank you.fpr replying

MOD HAT ON

As much as I love seeing the community coming together to support one another, it does need to be done with the Rules in mind. This topic is being closed due to discussing Staff Actions and talking about CF and other members. I encourage everyone to be there for one another and fellowship, but please leave the talk of Staff Actions and any complaints of other members off.
