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.

    How do you express your autonomy? By feeling superior to women and demanding deference because of your accidental Y chromosome? By insisting on a particular view of the world and then demonizing some of the the people in it just because they don't correspond to your inner schema? That's not autonomy. That's narcissism.

    Reading books critically is an excellent way of building upon existing knowledge while getting rid of those ideas and thoughts and systems that are no longer applicable or productive. Are you suggesting human beings stop writing or reading books?

      No, by being superior to other men. It's not that hard, really.

      No, that's the American way.

      Reading new, 'popular' books is like watching 'popular' movies or listening to 'popular' music. They are tailored for the "populous".

          Your competition is other women, not men. That's why you will forever spin your wheels in frustration.

                Huh, interesting. What gives you the impression that I'm in competition with other women? Or with anyone, for that matter? I'm neither in need of resources nor a husband. I have the title Dr. in front of my name. I'm in excellent health. I have two kids that I'm nuts about. I have everything I could possibly want or need at this point in my life.

                My belief is that life is short. There is no such thing as reward or punishment after this life. Therefore, live a good life and whenever possible, help others to do the same. Competition is such a waste of time, IMO.

                  Not really. Men do that all by themselves. No help needed from feminists.

                      Actually, Feminists aren't nearly as focused on men's genitals as men, themselves, are. Feminists are mostly interested in exposing and fighting against social and political constructs that threaten the premise of women and men being different but equal.

                      I'm curious, though. Have any of you guys watched the series Mad Men? And what are your thoughts about it? It portrays American professional and personal lives at about the time of the cultural revolution.

                      (Oh, but then, again, some of us are allergic to "popular" culture, even if it is of the caliber of a show like Mad Men or The Wire.)
