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.

    Another Priest attacked in Turkey

    Another Priest Attacked in Turkey


    ANKARA, Turkey — For the second time in the last two months a priest in the southern Turkish city of Mersin has been attacked.

    Early Saturday evening a young man with a knife entered the parish of Capuchin Father Hanri Leylek, saying that he wanted to speak with a priest.

    Aid to the Church in Need told ZENIT that young Turk insulted the priest and then threatened him with an 80-centimeter (31-inch) Kebab knife.

    The priest was able to repel the aggressor, and that same evening the police arrested a suspect, a young Turk.

    Bishop Luigi Padovese, the apostolic vicar of Anatolia, reported that this was the second time, in the last two months, that an attempt was made to kill a Catholic clergyman in the parish of Mersin, where 700 Catholics reside.

    Norbert Neuhaus, secretary-general of Aid to the Church in Need, said Catholics in Turkey "are scared" about the effects that such acts will have on relations between the Muslim majority and Christian minority.

    Neuhaus appealed to "the authorities to take this dramatic development seriously so that the security of Turkish Christians" is guaranteed.

    I wonder how many priests were attacked in USA today?

    This could just be a stupid drunk Turk, or maybe the priest owes this guy some money or any trivial incident. Before putting stuff like this on the "alter" of Christian minorities being massacred in Turkey Norbert Neuhaus should have looked into why this incident happened. The incident itself is enough for him to call it "dramatic" and label it a minority issue. If it was intented to be an act by let say a local grey wolf or fundamental islamist group the guy would either be dead or if it was meant to scare him a "group" of people would have been involved. The "kebab knife" reveals that this kid is not one of these but of the hooligan type of urban scum.

      Could be an isolated incident but with current event developing the way they are, the writting is on the wall.

          It adds a new dimension to the Turkish expression "Papazi bulduk!" Which literally means, "we found the priest", and it actually means, we're in trouble. Maybe one of our Turkish members can explain the connection between "finding the priest" and "being in trouble."

                  I think it related with the gambling cards. You know the priest in the cards?
