  • 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.

Where does your 'nick' come from?

My nickname from my real name is Neenie. Close friends and family call me that. Also, when I was working with the little kids, I used to let them call me that.

I sometimes chat on a baby site (not so much now that my son is 2) but occasionally I visit there when I'm not here with you guys. I wanted a name with something to do with being a mummy, something I'm very proud of, so I put the Mama in front. I just carried it over to here, because I didn't want to get mixed up with having 2 screen names. Not to mention I think it is quite catchy. Although I get sick of it now, so might change it soon.

Mine came about because the first time I ever got on the internet I decided to go to a chat room and had to find a name. I typed in all the usual things that I had been known by (except the unrepeatable ones of course :) ), and they were all taken. Six names later I was about to give up when the word sawdust popped into my head so I tried it and it worked. I stayed with it because the more I thought about sawdust the more I realised I had a lot in common with it. I think the Lord put that word there in my head. ;) Sometimes I add mrs to the start if I need to but that's why I go by sawdust.
:D
