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

Hmm. When you're wildly speculating about a person's motives, can that person correct you without triggering another bout of armchair psychiatry? You're very self-impressed with your limited ability to figure out what makes people tick, Kenneth.

I agree. Arrogance is one of the most unflattering attributes a person can have.Dal M. said:

You accused me of not respecting my elders with no evidence to support your claim, which I kindly took the time to explain why said claim was unfounded.kenneth558 said:
You then moved on without addressing any of what I said and instead accused me of not respecting men with no evidence to support your claim, which I kindly took the time to explain why said claim was unfounded (again -little annoyed here-).
Then for a third time you again totally ignored what I said in my previous post and decided to accuse me of not being able to take critisism with no evidence to support your claim, which I kindly took the time to explain why said claim was unfounded (yet again. -starting to try my patience here-)
...And now you have the nerve to ask why I'm angry? And on top of that, you actually think that it was somehow your absurd accusations? I'm not annoyed at the abusdity of such claims, I'm annoyed at how quickly you jump from claim to random claim when I refute what you say. Respect for elders --> masculinity --> taking critism ---> There's no connection.
Not once have you been able to back up your claims with anything besides wild accusations, and whenever I call you on those accusations, you bury yourself deeper with even more unfounded accusations. I've ran into people like you before though. Usually they tend to range from 12 to 15 however. You'll the oldest yet to attempt to debate with me by pure mudslinging and slander.
But I think was gets to me the most is the blatant arrogance and sexism you've demonstrated within these few pages, even after you never gave one shred of evidence to support your rude claims about my personal life. So yes, I am I bit peeved.

Kenneth, why don't you just answer the questions missFirerose asked you in stead of adding insult upon insult. You jumped to conclusions about her, without knowing the slightest thing about her, and from the posts till now you definitely have no way of upholding that you were right (if so, please post why, in stead of insulting her or anyone else again). I honoustly think that you, as an elder, should be old and wise enough to see when you are in error and apologize in that case. That you are older than others doesn't mean that you can just go around and insult the onces who are younger than you are.kenneth558 said:

Naw, he's too arrogant to apologize. Next he'll probably say I'm part of the "Huge Evil Lesbian Conspiracy" (TM), or some other wild nonsense. For an elder, he's not very elderly, or very respectful.Tomk80 said:

I'm always giving people way to many chances. So I'll just await his reaction after these posts. In my oh so short life till now I've learned two important things. The first is that I'm way to patient with people. The second is that people are very well able to surprise you suddenly, in which case I'm always very happy to have been too patientMissFirerose said:

But when someone starts going on about how I must be rebellingagainst my parents because I told them it was patronizing to call me "young lady" in a mocking way, and then went on to say how I didn't respect men, and then went on to say I couldn't take crititsm (to what?!), and then said that they were sure they were right... yeah.... my patience tends to run thin. ...If he just would have apologized for mocking me.... But no, some folks just burry themselves deeper and deeper. I suppose I'm usually not that bad, but sexist people really grate my cheese, and couple that with arrogance...Incidentally, isn't 20 a bit old to be "rebelling"?
I thought you did that at 14/15.I totally repect (see? I respect men!
) you for having such patience. I hope I can have such a patience limit someday.

But then again, I did not enter in the equation untill just yet, so it's easy for me to be patientMissFirerose said:Oh, I try to be patient with people, especially here.
Incidentally, isn't 20 a bit old to be "rebelling"?
I totally repect (see? I respect men!
I'm not sure whether 20 is old to be 'rebelling'. I never rebelled against my parents, but maybe it would be cool to do so. You never know, I never really had to try. Maybe when I get back to the Netherlands again.
I liked your posts by the way.

Aww thanks. My ones towards the end seemed a bit too hot tempered for my liking, but I couldn't help it. He just ticked me off.Tomk80 said:
I never really felt like I had to rebel, if I was mad about something, I'd just talk to Mom about it... and I was bright enought to stay away from the bad stuff so. I was/am too much of a dork to pull of rebelling anyway. I specialized in the "stomp around the house for a while" tactic when I was younger. lol
