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.

  • Reilly rips foes tie to Armenia genocide denials

    While gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick stood by his association with a D.C. lobbyist working to squash the legitimacy of the Armenian genocide, opponent Tom Reilly said he wouldn’t want anything to do with a person like that.

    “Anyone who would try and undermine the history and the truth of what happened to the Armenian population, I certainly would be disappointed in that. I certainly would not want to have anything to do with that,” Reilly said.



    The Herald reported yesterday that a Deval Patrick fund-raiser in Washington D.C. was co-hosted by Bernie Robinson, a consultant to the Livingston Group, a high-powered lobbying firm that has taken millions from the Turkish government to fight Congress from recognizing that the slaughter of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians beginning in 1915 was genocide.

    Reilly, whose office is defending the state’s refusal to include the point of view of those who deny there was an Armenian genocide in the statewide Department of Education history curriculum, said Patrick will “have to make his own decisions as to who he associates with and the people that raise money for him.”

    Reilly spoke minutes after all three Democratic candidates for governor appeared at a joint press conference designed to be a show of party unity. Patrick ducked out of the conference as soon as it was over.

    “It is unfortunate that one of our opponents is trying to make a political issue out of the tragedy,” said Libby DeVecchi a spokeswoman for Patrick.

    Patrick believes in the Armenian genocide, but downplayed the fund-raiser’s ties to the Livingston Group. Robinson has not worked for the Turkish government and is not even employed by the Livingston Group, a Patrick spokeswoman said.

    The Livingston Group’s Web site lists Robinson as a consultant who is part of “The Livingston Group Team..”
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Livingston is the big winner in all of this. He's made millions for the Turkish government but been largely ineffective. The best lobbyist for the Turkish gov't is in fact the US State Department and they lobby for free.
