Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    **********************************
    NOTES / COMMENTS
    ****************************
    There are two kinds of people:
    carnivores and vegetarians, sometimes also identified as
    Turks and Armenians.
    *
    As for identifying people by race, color creed or DNA:
    such divisions are no longer valid or even practical
    because of the high rate of mongrelization.
    *
    The world has become a nightmare
    for racists, nationalists and all dividers in general.
    *
    The old Turkish saying (probably of Armenian origin)
    is as valid today as it was when it was first spoken:
    “Don’t stir things too much,
    you may expose the crap.”

    NOTES / COMMENTS
    *****************************
    Trump reflects American values
    more faithfully than the double-talk
    of the competition.
    *
    In order to work,
    propaganda must flatter.
    *
    Behind every story
    there are a thousand other stories.
    *
    My greatest liability:
    I refuse to be a dupe.
    *
    If only lovers learned to keep their distance!
    If only He had planted two gardens.
    *
    An honest politician would have to spend
    so much time cleaning up the mess that
    it would paralyze the nation.

    George Orwell: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

    infidel, imam, fatwa, jihad.: 4 words that are hateful, repellent, disgusting, and worthy only of bloodthirsty barbarians regardless of race, color, and creed!

    *******************************
    FROM MY NOTEBOOKS
    ********************************
    Millionaires have feelings?
    I didn’t know that.
    But I guess it makes sense.
    *
    I don’t believe in literature
    but I do believe in the power of words
    to create magic.
    *
    No one questions the credibility
    of sermonizers and speechifiers;
    and as far as I know
    no one has ever criticized a boss or bishop
    for repeating himself.
    On the contrary, they are amply rewarded
    to do so.

    My enemies are my most faithful readers.
    They know they are the central character in everything I write.

    ***********************************
    AS I SEE IT
    **********************
    A war produces two sets of liars
    one of which identify themselves
    as winners.
    *
    Democracy may or may not be the best system
    but in the short run it may well qualify as the safest.
    *
    Once when a reader disagreed with me
    he called me “son of a Turkish xxxxx.”
    I could not help reflecting that
    he probably identifies himself
    as the offspring of a long line of virgins.

    Henceforth, we should concentrate our efforts on
    humanizing the Turks as opposed to dehumanizing
    them, if only because we cannot make any moral
    demands on a dehumanized entity.
