• 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.

FELLOWSHIP QUESTION FOR MY INFORMATION:

Someone told me "socks" use to be forbidden. Is that true?

I have not heard of forbiding sock puppets.

I should bring mine back in here at some point: either she was ignored, or she hasn't been discovered yet. ;)

FELLOWSHIP QUESTION FOR MY INFORMATION:

Someone told me "socks" use to be forbidden. Is that true?

Yes. In the first year or two of CF, socks were not allowed. The site had it fixed that you could only register with paid email address....earthlink, aol...ect. Hotmail and yahoo were not allowed.

But the site got larger, everyone found out that the moderators were encouraged to have at least one sockpuppet (which caused a lot of problems) and Erwin dropped the 'no sockpuppet's rule' and allowed free email addy registration.

Now someone could have ten sockpuppets and there is not a dang thing we can do about it.

I can't believe I remembered all that.

Helen, your secret is out!

I know you're Babylonia!

:ebil:

teh Ceiling Cat iz watchin u.
She can't be! Can she? (Who told me that mods can have only three accounts? Hob, HE and SOS make 3, so... Or is it three socks??? Then it's OK. :scratch:

It's my guess that Babylonia is WA.

And that ScarletRose chick is either DLF - who then has two socks - or Sabre. :scratch: I mean, what's she doing in this thread if she doesn't have a sock? I mistook someone else's sock for hers yesterday, so I might be wrong again. I'm wrong a LOT.
