  • 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.

That’s right! I knew it was related to a story. I forgot you wrote it.

The name Sarah is perfect for such a lady, I would think. Since it means something like "princess" in Hebrew, I believe?

Yep. But I don’t imagine the biblical Sarah like that. That’s where the name comes from. She was beautiful. But she got rid of Hagar. Unlike others who experienced problems with concubines. She nipped hers in the bud.

I love the name Sarah!

I'm pretty sure many Bible translations give the meaning of Sarah. (Remember, God changes her name from Sarai I believe, something like that) I don't think it means Princess b/c she's never really considered a princess. (Tho I suppose since she's part of Jesus's & David's royal line, she could be)

The name is Hebrew. It means "lady, princess, or noblewoman.”

Wiki adds this:

In Arabic, Sarah translates to joy and delight. While frequently, the name refers to Sarah, the wife of Abraham in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Old Testament, and the Islamic Quran. In Hebrew, and Persian, it means woman of high rank, often simply translated as "Princess". In Modern Hebrew, "sarah" (שרה) is the female form of the word "minister".

The Sarah in my name also was once given a face thanks to a friend from my other forum community, RPGMaker Magazine, who was a fan of that card game Magic the Gathering =>

I'd be willing to learn Magic. I play the Pokemon TCG competitively & my friend teaching me Yu-Gi-Oh. I told him I believe Magic is considered cooler in regards to TCG's specifically, but he's not interested in it

Wowzers it's quiet on here today.

There was about an eighteen month period when it was just me on here talking to myself.

Those were simpler times. There was far less weirdness on here and not nearly as many sock puppet accounts floating around.

Did a lot of the members leave & new ones come in?

Hopefully it won't stay silent. Message Boards in general are kind of getting killed off by Reddit, Facebook, & other more main-stream social media sites.

When was this?

I do remember this place being crazier in the day (including me).. thus far I've mellowed out.

It was all very messy: some married and/or left for greener pastures, while others just moved to other subforums. It was the trolls which really killed it off though, one or two of them went a little too far. It put the women off.

Y'know you're getting older when you forget the year things happened in.

I think it was sometime around 2015 - but don't quote me on it. High Fidelity will know better than me, because it was pretty much just me and him here - and his memory is sharper than mine. If think he was still an admin then.

Was that during your Annie Oakley era?

It was definitely JUST a few of us. Knowing me and you we were probably talking about sadism and criminology.

Well, you had all of those nineteenth century women in your avatars back then - I didn't know who they were. They all looked like Annie Oakley to me.


Noo.. noo. noo.. Reese.. come on.. lol.

Are these trolls the ones who prompted that pinned sexual harassment post? I was kinda surprised they had to put up something like that. Though I have seen several mentions of kooks and trolls who scared away the women. Is that why so few women seem to post in this particular forum? Should I be worried? lol
