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.

    Go ahead.

    In the meantime, and before we find more reliable and decisive data, according to http://armenian.name/
    1- "Paruyr" is an old Armenian name
    2- "Raffi" is an Arabic influence - does it suggest that it predates Raffi, the writer???
    3- "Siamanto" is not a First Name. Sorry!
    I did not check other sites.
    Check out what Sip provided.

    LOL How about angels? Do they have a gender? LOL Please keep in mind that I was born the day when Siamanto, the poet, have been murdered!!!
    LOL Please find the post and let's have a good laugh about it!!!
    [To help you, maybe you have in mind a reply to exfo???? ]
    Yeah, I laughed a lot, it's your and others turn now. BTW, I knew it was exfo, I didn't need the help. Here you go.

    Actually, he's frustrated because Lucin and I won't give him the time of the day even after he tried to make us jealous embracing two women in his avatar.

    P.S. I don't know about Lucin; but, I'll have to confess that I started having feelings for this handsome, elegant and virile man and I'm torn between the urgency of my feelings for him and my sacred values as an Armenian. What a tragic dilemma!
    LOL, who is making assumptions now???


    LOL When did I say that I "have met many Siamantos?" At this point, you were probably half asleep???
    You said “but I have met many many thousands of Armenians from all over the world and not a single one named "Siamanto."” -Doesn’t it mean you have met more than a single one named Siamanto??- Whereas you had previously said: “ *wonders how many of us have known, in real life , Armenians with First Name "Siamanto." probably none or almost none of us. wonders how it can be typically??? *”


    Good Morning for you and a good movie for me???
    Good afternoon, and probably a good tragi-comedy??( LOL,you are not going to tell me I misused the word probably. )

    You attempt to insult me, and you call that a pun? You are truly an amazing human being with a unique ability of warping any situation and then you call out others on supposedly "distorting" things.

I always recognized your "intellectual intuition;" but, unfortunately, you let your emotions - and personal/family past, that's all I can say in public - suffocate it.
    My "intellectual intuition" is not the topic, because (a) I do not have any "intellectual intuition". Since you are so keen on recognizing it, maybe you are the one who possess it oh righteous mind from the French schools of thought of the likes of Lacan and Foucault. I'm just a poster with my own opinions and am able to back up what I say cogently, as opposed to resorting to tantrums as you did both with regard to the debates about the French riots (which are valid for mentioning here as they give a backdrop of how the present situation unfurled) and here. It is this constant resorting to emotional outbursts which is why I think you are a woman, and if not, an effeminate man.

    And (b), what does personal and family past have anything to do with my emotions blocking my "intellectual intuition"? It seems you know more about me and my personal/family past than I know about you, so I would say you're the one obsessed with me here. And now we can leave it to Madamme Siamanto to warp this into a "OMG YOU ARE SO PARANOID LOL"

    Honestly, I do like your contributions because you always have something to offer when it's not a discussion about French riots or global warming, you post good news and articles and I do read them, but you do get whiney at times.

    1- You went ballistic with an alarmist and emotional rant only because I said:

    2- You continued to constantly awaken and refer to the past - of course, in a totally distorted manner - and I always ignored it, hoping that, eventually, you'll wake up from the darkness of your torments and go beyond it. Unfortunately, you did not.
    First, you need to learn to take a god damned joke. When I mentioned Al Gore it was not about making a serious point. You conveniently ignore the rest of the thread where I actually went on to explain my position and to that all you could say is I am narrow minded, religious zealot, etc.

    I did not say that you used the word "probably;" I just meant that your statement - that I have quoted - makes the word "probably" in my statement, plausible.

    LOL, so you have met many Siamantos, but Dear Siamanto, you previously said the following:

    Re: S.o.s!!

    Ok here is a condensed summary of this thread so far (as I see it) ... some names (other than Siamanto who has been central here are just removed to make it easier to read):

    X: OMG Global Warming

    Siamanto: Oh blah blah yes Global Warming yes yes yes end is near ethics etc

    X: Maybe man made Global Warming isn't something that is to be taken as fact.

    Siamanto: OMG you are worst computer scientist ever. I have seen graduate students better than you. OMG I'm sorry for you pathetic loser.

    X: [explains what he said]

    Siamanto: Wow this is so pathetic I don't know where to begin. Highly complicated mathematical concepts are so beyond your grasp. I am superior.

    X: Ok bring it on xxxxx. Real challenge. Put your brain where your emotions are. Are you up for it? Any rules you want I'm game.

    Siamanto: Lol no I mean you suck. I am so much superior I don't even need to reply here stick to topic lol.

    Y: Are you female?

    Siamanto: WTF that's such immature question.

    Y: No you sound female. But Siamanto is a male name.

    Siamanto: Mathematical probablity dictates that you can't make such claims. Nothing can be predicted unless you have seen a billion people that match what you claim omg omg this is so basic you suck at highschool math.

    X: You are joking right? "Siamanto is typically male name" bugs you this much?

    Siamanto: Wow this is pathetic you are so rediculously immature and mentally you are 19th century wtf I want to laugh at you.

    Y: Are you saying this because you harbor bad feelings from several months ago?

    Siamanto: Why would you say that? Are you obsessed with me? Come on I like you and want to kiss your ass so at least one person ends up on my side here. Come on you can do it I have faith in you.

    X: Ok here are the basic facts. Logical explanation. Dictionary definition. Done.

    Siamanto: WOW I am so sorry and want to laugh and cry at the same time while using big words dah dee dah I am so superiror yay.

    Me: WTF?

    "Law of large numbers"?

    Exactly how many million Siamantos do we need to find before we can then make the claim that "Siamanto is a name typically given to males" is within a confidence threshold? (Note: This is a rhetorical question. You don't need to make another long and boring post about how mediocre and stupid I am. I think it's safe to say you have turned into the forum fool for now even though you were desparately trying to paint me as such).

    Basic moronic conclusion (at least in the context of this forum): "Siamanto is a name typically given to males."

    The "cardinality" of the set is irrelevant since we are not making any probabilistic claims here. If I had highlighted the "second" definition of "typically" above, you might have a case. FYI, mathematical probability is not the ONLY method of prediction.

    Ok now do another post about how stupid I am.


    I still don't know if I should be sorry for you or simply laugh at you??? You are really much less educated and literate than I thought. Mentally, you're even not as evolved as Mathematical Logic and Epistemology was, late19th century - early 20th century.

    That is a scary and disturbing statement; not only because the way you look at it, but also considering that
    1- You went ballistic with an alarmist and emotional rant for no reason
    2- You get so paranoid and fail to see beyond
    Please take the time to read our "conversation???" in this thread and be "narrow-minded myopic" to see how it evolved.




    P.S.
    I have read the "article" that you have posted earlier and I was considering a reply; but, considering your emotional state, maybe I should refrain from it until you calm down???
