How happy for those who feel they are Turks

[Sako]

I think you're mistaken, i hope you're not but past experience.........

Sorry, Steph, could you clarify ? I might've been wrong, of course, but what exactly was wrong?

Expecting self deniers to answer pertinent questions without pressure.

[Sako]

Oh, I didn't look at it that way. I was talking about Hitite, May, Lal, etc. Are they also self deniers?

[Gavur]

not May ,lal I suspect is a sincere infiltrator

I read all the entries under this title, but I couldn't understand how began this battle of words (may be for my bad english), What is the question Arda's awaiting a reply?
I only understand there is a Kemalism disputation. if so I can say that, kemalism is the gratest taboo of turks. What he said are regarded as god verb. If you bombed with his alleged greatnes during all your life -in family, elemantary school, college, military, even in university- you would be a kemalist. It is very difficult to trancendence Kemalism for many turks. so, in my opinion, in argumentation with turks, it is needed to dispute the jenocide at first. Kemalism may be next. After all, even if turkish government accept the jenocide, they would never correlate kemal and jenocide, they will think jenocide is the problem of ottoman empire. I am sory for any misunderstanding

[lal]

not May ,lal I suspect is a sincere infiltrator

ı am curious, what am ı infitrating from this site. am ı a turkish government agent and stealing important armenian documents?or is my important job to provocate and create a civil war among armenians? you are a funny man indeed.

They always ignore my questions Saco. And when they open their mouth to answer, the only thing appears baseless excuses. They ignore because they know they have so many issues that has no answer. It must be so hard to defend butchers; Kemal, Dro, Lenin, Talat, Stalin, Hitler...

I have some questions too:

1- Who are "they" that you are talking about, Arda?
2- Must every member of this forum read this thread and read your question?
3- If "they" are aware of your question, is there an obligation that your questions must be addressed? What makes you so special?
4- I had a very stupid, simple question about a musical terminology directed at you under music thread which could be answered with few words, but you did not respond. Shall I also complain?

Once you answer these questions, I MAY (not my forum nickname, meaning that I have possibility to) respond your question, if I find worthy of spending time. More, I am giving you the freedom (which you do not grant "them") not to answer my questions as well.

[Sako]

May, I wasn't specifically talking about you, I didn't specifically have you in mind. Lal for example though, we ask her questions over and over again (no offense Lal) and we don't get a reply. Arda specifically asked her the same questions a hundred times. If she doesn't reply, it's pointless writing any longer. It's like we have to answer but not get an answer ourselves.

Thanks, Gavur.

Saco, my friend, I appreciate your concern about not to be misunderstood and your polite attitude. Don't worry, I did not have you in my mind while I was writing. If I was writing for something that you wrote, I would clearly imply so. It is Arda's duty to clarify who he is addressing.

Say, Arda meant Lal. Lal may not find discussion about Kemalism worthy in terms of the subject matter of this forum, and she has all the right not to respond. Or she just wants to quit the discussion because she feels cornered. In any case, not receiving a response does not give Arda the right to categorize anybody that does not answer his call for discussion. Asking biased questions that will lead to his conclusions is not a proper way of initiating a discussion either. If one wants his opinion to be known by others, then s/he can write posts (as many and as long as s/he wants) about what s/he thinks, with adding references that s/he thinks appropriate to include. And that's basically all. We don't need intellectual lynches for our opinions to be respected.
