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.

    Anytime you discuss history, it will not be 100% accurate... so we rely on eye witnesses, memoirs, documents, etc...


    I lost my chance? Please, you are the one who was making fun of anyone who wanted the genocide recognized by saying things..

    "1.5 mllion turks should die?" --- sarcasm perhaps, but you are insulting our intelligence.

    or

    "maybe we should give turkey back to armenia" - again stupid remark

    or

    "all armenians are obsessed with turkish issues" - again how can you say something liek this? do you know all armenians?

    or

    "you have no normal life, your children will have hatred, your diaspora should live differently" -- do you understand how you are crossing lines?

    or

    "intelectual terror, armenian's comitted genocide in azerbejian"


    by saying things the above on an armenian forum, you are inviting insults...


    you say you're not sure of "reality" yet you call Dr. Bernard Lewis "the most important historian of middle east
    You say you're not certain yet don't hesitate to call it a "myth" if you're not certain why do you call it a myth.

    "victim of psyhcology and national identity based on this genocide." i dont refute this.... you have the similar issue regarding USA... doesnt mean 4/15/1915 was a myth.

    "Second, I think you did not understand my point. Unlike you I am not sure about the reality, because as I said several times before the reality is being distorted by two sides. If you wouldn't lose your chance for a civilised discussion and we would start it, I know what kind of picture you will draw to me. You will start from the 1895-96 massacres, Hamidian troops, 1915 Van, and then 24 April arrests and killings, and then deportation, taking Armenian men to the military without guns, and then massacres, and then your secret telegrams that proove CUP has a plan for genocide, and then so called Naim Bey memoires, Morhenthau's book, blue book, Istanbul trials at 1919, etc. And you will conclude as there were around 2 million Armenians at 1914 and 150.000 remained at 1920"

    I honestly don't want turkey to recgonize the genocide, because its not realistic... but i would like them to speak of the above (waht you stated) and let their citizens decide if it was a genocide or not... but they dont!!! Freedom of speech? Hah --- that is all i want for turkey to establish amreican constitutions first amendment... that's all

    You seem more of a psychologist than a historian....

    enter the Matrix!
    Gunner I can give you a chance always, I have no superiority on you. But it is very clear that you are not capable to even understand what I write. I considered you were ready to be mature and try to understand the other side. But no, whatever I say, you only understand the ones that you are capable. How many more I have to repeat that my point is not "you and me", or "genocide" or "how USA is superiour to Turkey"? MY POINT IS THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHICH TWO SIDES ARE GUILTY TO RESTRAIN IT EQUALLY!!!!! Before postin a reply to this just go and read my previous post again.
    ***I dont remember I mentioned about "Azerbaijan genocide", did I?

I wrote clearly that I dont want to discuss anything with you or Gunner anymore and I dont even reply your provocative posts about me. I dont beg any intelligent discussion, especially with you. Why do you still humiliate yourself? There are many other members here without me. Go and post to them, you can continue to post them about me, but just stop to post me, capish?

      You still haven't said anything intelligent. Maybe you will say something useful under one of your other login names.

      By the way Kuja, I hope you don't take exfo seriously. All he does is insult people here. He has refused to discuss anything intelligent. I hope you will be different.

          Dear Sip,

          1. I dont have any other login name.
          2. It seems that you will not be ashamed and will still continue to spam about me. Good, you can post whatever you want. Just for your information: I dont read them anymore.

            Good, I wasnt expecting an answer from you about the fact I said about the FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Then stop to invite me to any other discussions. Unlike Sip I believe you have an honour and can understand this time that I dont want to continue any discussion with you anymore. Have a nice day and best regards.

                  It's one of those online things ... since 'p' is right next to 'o' on the keyboard, a lot of people make the mistake of typing pwned instead of owned when they do it quickly. After a while, people started doing it on purpose and then it became a new word. The other "leet" variations are own3d and pwn3d.

                      First, you lose your chance for a civilised discussion. After many insults from you to me, I have no willingness to continue any debate.

                      Second, I think you did not understand my point. Unlike you I am not sure about the reality, because as I said several times before the reality is being distorted by two sides. If you wouldn't lose your chance for a civilised discussion and we would start it, I know what kind of picture you will draw to me. You will start from the 1895-96 massacres, Hamidian troops, 1915 Van, and then 24 April arrests and killings, and then deportation, taking Armenian men to the military without guns, and then massacres, and then your secret telegrams that proove CUP has a plan for genocide, and then so called Naim Bey memoires, Morhenthau's book, blue book, Istanbul trials at 1919, etc. And you will conclude as there were around 2 million Armenians at 1914 and 150.000 remained at 1920, so Turks made genocide.

                      Many of them are really correct, but Turks also claim many things which I am sure you know, they claim that most of your evidences for a planned genocide are either fake or war propoganda of ww1 against Ottoman Empire. They have also many other claims as you know. I will not repeat them to start a useless discussion.
                      The point here is, to get a solution both sides should establish a relation first and discuss the points one by one without distorting history at the internationla arena.

                      Dont say me that "oh western world support our thesis so probably we are the good guys and you are the bad ones" Your diaspora lobby distort the reality as much as Turkish government. How can we discuss a historical fact when one of the most important scholar of a middle east history, Bernard Lewis is on trial at the court just because he expressed his scientific opinion that do not match with your official history? How can we discuss anything since your diaspora force the governments and even it is a crime to discuss against your thesis at France and Switzerland? How can we discuss anything when you parrot the same "there is nothing to discuss, all the facts are clear, just confess it and get out of here" thing at "your" every post. How can we discuss anything when you (this one is singular you) are full of prejudices and stereotypes about Turks and Islam? How can we discuss anything when you believe that it is free to insult Turks if they dont accept your claims?

                      I have no willingness to discuss anythin with you Gunner.
                      The point here is not whether the Armenian genocide was a reality or not. The point is the freedom of speech.
                      Both sides restrain it. And the difference between you and me is I am ready to critisize the blind propoganda of Turkish government against Armenians and 1915, but you are not ready to critisize anything from you side because of your victim psyhcology and national identity based on this genocide myth.
                      First of all, Bernard Lewis is one of the typical hacks that only takes away integrity from the field of historiography. His adamant stance against the Armenian genocide is not out of the honesty of inquisitive minds. His political associations with the Turkish government have created a strong Pro-Turkish bias which has damaged his reputation as a historian.

                      Furthermore, Bernard Lewish being a Jeew, and a Zionist also sheds light on his stance against the Armenian genocide, which most Jeewish Zionists see as negligent, or outright deny. This is also the position of the Israeli government, and its close ties to the Turkish government.

                      Citing Bernard Lewis as a source of credibility is about as lame as citing Bush as a source of credibility for the White House.

                      EDIT: And for what it's worth, I am against all laws that prohibit the free exchange of ideas. I am definitely against Lewis' lynching in France for his not calling the Armenian genocide a genocide. But then again, it's France, a socialist utopia where you can be jailed and or fined for questioning the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide.
