• 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.

Interesting.

I have 4x the number of posts here as the OP; and twice that of the #2 poster.

There is a word for that. Maybe a few, actually.

Upisoft - You are playing devil's advocate, right? Or Jesus advocate of whatever? ^_^

So, you guys need to defend your positions a bit more -- (assuming they're worth defending).

If you're not interested, why should we be?

Save that line for those who want to argue homeopathy.

What kind of defense for your position is "1,2,3....1001,1002,1003..."?

And what does post count have to do defending positions? Most people compose their own replies, rather than debate by oft-debunked QV. And as for your post count, most of that is counting games, so not exactly defence of your positions.

Save that line for those who want to argue homeopathy.

Unlike medicines, however, forum posts are not effective because of their volume :wave:

Really, AV, don't try analogies - you're a creationist.
