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.

    I have a problem with what you said, most definitely.

    Why do feel it necessary to repeat yourself?

    Also, if you got something to say, say it. Quoting every line of my 3 line post and replying with a personal attack isn't really how we do it here, you know.
    I did, only two lines of what I wrote were personally addressed to you, however, you have failed to address any of my points because I know you can't. I know very well how things are done here and while I was able to address your comments, I only get an attitude and indignation as a response.

      So do you agree then whenever there’s a documentary or a movie about Jewish Holocaust to bring a panel of Holocaust deniers and debate the issue?
      The public has a right to know, sounds like a plan to me.

        So when you don't agree with what ppl say, you use phrases like "Silly little girl" "you're confused" etc. to reply to them? And you expect your replies to be taken seriously? You have an attitude problem, that's what you have. Arguing with ppl like you is a waste of time.

          I can't believe you actually wrote this stuff. It sounds like you're guilty of something and you don't want to be interviewed because you might incriminate yourself and on public television.

          And what impression would that leave on the audience?
          Impressions? Is that what you care about, making impressions? Such a discussion or debate isn't about making impressions, it's about strengthning our case and convincing those who have doubts or aren't sure by stating the undisputable facts.


          "The Armenian genocide is debatable, no one knows what happened". Right?
          Oh yea, everyone knows what happened and there couldn't possibly be anyone who isn't aware of the AG or unsure of what transpired. I suppose people should stop writing books on the AG, close down any and all websites on the AG, stop putting out information on the AG, and not participate in any genocide conferences since everyone already knows what happened, so why bore people by telling them something they already know. Right?

          Specially if they're not familiar with the matter.
          And it's up to us to educate those that aren't familiar with the matter, but instead, you would prefer to have people think that we have something to hide and are afraid of the truth possibly comming out in a discussion aired on public television.

          And how would that benefit us?
          I guess you're right. Proving the paid deniers to be liars on public television couldn't possibly benefit us.

          These deniers are paid people, they're not gonna listen to our side and be like "oh wow, we were wrong, sorry".
          What are you talking about? No one is saying that they're going to listen to our side or agree. We're not trying to convert the paid deniers. What we want to do is to expose them and their lies and I can't think of a better place than public television. And as a matter of fact, the more they lie, the better it is for us.

          It's just gonna make people confused, and damage our image and reduce its importance, and that's the exact purpose of airing the debate.
          On the contrary. It's going to make things clearer and people will be less confused. It's not our image that's going to be damaged, but their reputation will be damaged severely. If the AG is that important, then we should take every opportunity to talk about it and educate people instead of BURYING IT.

          Think.
          I can, can you?

            Your discussion brings to mind an old story about the ..
            The old bull and the young bull looking over the pasture from the hill down where all the cows are .The youngen says to the old bull "Lets run down and do one"no my son the old bull replies "Lets walk down and getem All"
            "All truth passes through three stages:
            First, it is ridiculed;
            Second, it is violently opposed; and
            Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

              I agree to debate the AG issue only if every topic is debatable by deniers no matter what, even Holocaust, Zionism or political conspiracies without being called names such “anti-Semite, racist, etc. etc. or whatever. Turks want to debate the AG in US and they started a petition, are they going to broadcast the first part of the documentary on their TV? Or can anyone debate the AG in Turkey?

                  I like this story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that you are referring to me as the old bull? In other words, do you think discussing the AG with the deniers on public television could benefit us or do you think it would benefit the Turks and harm us?

                    A.G is not open for negotiation
                    denying A.G is just an attemt to lessen the charges and thats a separate iissue. The two issues cannot and must not be spoken in the same breath
