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.

Well he doesn't post that frequently over there either. I suspect he is still recovering from TBBTSNBN burnout. He expended a lot of time and energy over there before he was banned and I think it has caused him to readjust his priorities a bit. I don't know if you have heard him state his opinion regarding Internet apologetics that "he who has the most time wins". When your own time is limited, debates can become extremely frustrating.

That is very true. Internet apologetics isn't very rewarding, at least when the two sides are not open to learning from each other.

Especially when a well thought out and researched post, taking more than a few minutes to bang out is deleted at the whims of the heretical partisan managment.
Gosh, I miss those days ...

This is why I save all my long, controversial posts in notepad. When I start banging out a long missive, I think it is hard to not develop an emotional attachment to it in some way.
Also, I thought the reason Maximus didn't come here any more is because he thought I was persecuting him. :o

Once we started doing that, the threads were simply locked. Most new threads were immediately locked with a reminder that we could only post in a few sticky threads. Eventually we were forbidden from discussing Christianity at all and most of us were simply banned. This was all Philips doing
as he was the one that brought forth the evidence that none could refute, that is that there is no evidence of the warped Christian faith that was esposused there at TBTSNBN predating the modern era. IOW, the only way they could defeat the truth, was to censor it and show it the door. Their eyes were blind, and their ears deaf.

Have you taken a look at TBBTSNBN lately?
