  • 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.

This place would die without me

I've been a member of an artist's co-operative for the past 20 years. For the past 3 years I've served as their treasurer. For various reasons, I'm leaving the gallery on March 1st. Meanwhile, they can't get anyone to step up to do the books and now are holding an emergency meeting tomorrow night to discuss how and if they're going to stay in business.

I feel bad that my leaving would leave them in such a tough spot, but it's an co-operative and it's supposed to be an artist owned and operated business.

When I was young, my dad would complain, "This place would die without me!" It looks like the place is going to die without me. It's really sad.
