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.

I bought a new gadget: you put venison in the top, turn the handle, and it comes out as pheasant
It's a real game changer...
How do deer get revenge?
By giving each other a taste of their own venison
I bought hair extensions and paid the barber with venison.
I'd say that's a real bang for my buck
(Ok, that's enough)

There is a linguistic phenomenon called Pejoration - also known as the Euphemism Treadmill. People don't want to say certain things from sensitivity, and substitute euphemisms that themselves then become pejoratives resulting in a new round of euphemisms. Good examples are blackamoor to negro to coloured to black to African-American in the US; or crippled to disabled to handicapped to the weird modern handi-capable. Even the word Death started as a euphemism for steorfan; which today survives in the form of starve or starve to death only in English; with death originally meaning something like giving up the ghost.
Very silly indeed.
