Ankap - Angry at the Mayans for a false prediction? POST YOUR GRIEVANCES HERE!
Yes, I'm fine; but thank you for asking. -- i went away for a bit already; and I believe you're the only person on this forum who knows why.
Though, everytime I come on this forum, somewhere in some thread I am reminded just how much I dont belong here. It doesn't matter that I made friends, and enemies, here. Sometimes they're blended in random debates.
I can see why many leave. It takes a toll eventually. A lot of users want this forum to be purely political and yet can't leave the human element out of it. It's not possible to take that human element out. It's amazing what words can do to us. I, for one, learned a lot by observing over the time I've been here; not only about Armenians, but about how unique each person is.
The only thing is.. even though I learned about the culture... I dont see common "Armenian" things among all the people here -- just the title of being "Armenian."
But then again, I suppose that comes from all the different upbringings and attitudes of what is an Armenian.

Just seeing this...
I know what you mean about it taking a toll. I was doing better when I was moderating and not posting (or neither!).
Know that for everyone that posts something mean, there are several who don't agree, but never post.

Don't let our bickering get you down. There is an ongoing joke in the Diaspora among Armenians especially in cities where there are clusters of us. Basically, if you have another Armenian as a neighbour, sell the house and move .
