• 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.

Opinions are all well and good but it's how you say them that is the issue.

Voice your opinion but have the whereworthall to voice it intelligently and with respect.
Well basically it is all how something is perceived.

Are we adults???

I got reported for my rant on SAHM's. I thought I was an adult and could say what I wanted to unless I was downing another member, which I wasn't - it was a general rant.

One of the biggest issues with "opinions" is that many people don't post them as opinions. Instead of saying, "I think" some members will post blanket, general statements as though they are fact. We're all opinionated... that's a good thing... but when opinions are stated as though they are true for all people in given situations, they are inflammatory.
