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've hung around several. But this one seems to be the only one that treats people with respect. And I'm sort of big on not being treated like an inmate or a child at my age.

That is my favorite song on the piano. I love Beethoven, but Bach is really wonderful too. (My father is a classical pianist...so I grew up with classical music. I took lessons myself...but in an act of teenage rebellion...I gave it up. Taking lessons again is on my list of things I want to do. )Lisa0794 said:
