• 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.

As as for you....


Quoting Matrona's user title..."Shut up and kiss me!" :kiss:
Don't tell me what to do, you're not the boss o' me! ;-) ... now that we're back together working on things, you can't just tell me to do stuff like that. OK, maybe you can.

Ok...not meaning to drag this into the new Taverna...
but

Michael (the Iconographer), while I know that you felt like you were being a good friend when you posted the things you did...and I do appreciate your friendship...there are boundaries that you overstepped in how instensely you went after my Michael. I hope nothing like this happens again with me...but if per chance it does, please just offer your prayers and let me fight my own battles.

That's a hard one. I mean you were fighting your battles on a public forum and people instinctively come to the defense of those they care about.

It looked like you were being attacked.

Maybe if you prefer friends not to get involved you should keep your battles private.

I thought the people that came to your defense were being quite noble.

Indeed you are right. Though there are many other issues that did occur privately that factor in and make the situation sticky. My intention was not for a public battle, which is why the OP that ignited this whole thing named no names or specifics. And yes....the person defending me was quite noble.
