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.

    WRITERS
    ********************
    The role of a writer in the life of our communities
    is somewhere below that of an unemployed janitor,
    with one difference: a janitor’s prospects are brighter.

      ON LEADERSHIP
      *******************************
      The most important function of leadership is
      to prove itself infallible even if the patient died.
      *
      When Toynbee said the only thing
      the Israeli leadership appears to have learned
      from the Holocaust was to behave like Nazis,
      the xxxs of the world united
      in accusing him of anti-Semitism.
      *
      And when Hanna Arendt,
      one of the greatest political thinkers of the 20th century,
      said the xxxish leadership had been partly responsible
      for the Holocaust, xxxish pundits retaliated
      by reminding the world that
      as a teenager she had had a Nazi lover.
      *
      Moral of the story:
      Think twice before you step on a leader’s tail.
      *
      And now allow me to identify myself:
      My name is Baliozoghlu
      and I don’t carry Mt. Ararat in my heart.

        Ara, are you being facetious when you say this or is "oglu" the actual suffix of your last name?

            ON ARMENIAN ANTI-ARMENIANISM
            ****************************
            All our problems have solutions.
            If we pretend otherwise
            it’s because we have no use for them.
            What we want,
            what we need more than anything else is revenge.
            It’s understandable.
            What motivates a nation
            that has been degraded, abused, and slaughtered
            throughout most of its historic existence
            is not reason but thirst for blood.
            What drives us is not what’s good for us
            but what’s bad for our enemies --
            beginning with Armenians who disagree with us.
            If only because these Armenians,
            unlike our real enemies,
            are within reach, defenseless,
            and in no position to retaliate.

              I disagree.
              To demand the TRUTH is (NOT) seeking revenge.
              To say we will never forget the evil conduct of the turc or kurd is not lusting for blood.
              To say those lands are ours is not being vengeful.
              To seek justice is --- NOT --- the same as seeking vengeance.
              Not at all.

                    *************************
                    My critics resent me
                    because I refuse to come to terms
                    with my own mediocrity.
                    But I suspect they resent me even more
                    for rejecting them as my role models.

                    What I know cannot be contradicted

                      It’s easy to apologize after you step on someone’s foot. But how do you apologize for leading a million and a half innocent human beings to the slaughterhouse? That’s why neither their leadership nor ours will ever apologize to the people.
