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.

    Well, Einstein was a fraud. Bad example.

    I'll just pretend you didn't say that - OK....

      If you pretend, you'll deprive yourself of truth. Very unscientific of you. Einstein was the biggest plagiarist in the history of science and there are no two ways about it. The prinicples he stands for are great, but he just stands for them. They're not his. Not the idea of four dimensions, not E=MC^2, not the bending of light by gravity, and, among still other ideas, not relativity either.

        Apparently we agree on something.

          Anon, is there anything anyone can ever say to change your mind about evolution?
          Stark, is there anything anyone can ever say to change your mind about Einstein?

          Not even having heard the answers to those questions, I'd go as fas as to say continuing these "discussions" is pointless.

            As expected, no. There is no defense.

            That right there is the meaning of Einstein. But it's not the quote itself; it's the fact that you are quoting it. Einstein was a marketting tool. A pop star. An image. A poster. Since he didn't have to spend much time doing science he spent it coming up with stupid little quotes to be remembered by. He is the most quoted scientist. But one should not be remembered as a great scientist because of cute, meaningless quotes. (And sometimes those are plagiaristic too: "Never stop asking questions." Thanks, punk, for that Socratic lesson.) There is absolutely nothing special about him or his book of a 1001 queefy quotes.

              That was hilarious!

                OK fine - I won't argue per se - understand your point - though don't agree - I think he was obvioulsy brilliant with keen insight - - and it is a fallacy to expect someone to be entirely original - particularly when it comes to Science - that is a rarity indeed - but anyway - lets celebrate Richard Feynman then - perhaps we can agree on him then eh?

                  Scientists always contribute to or develope previous work. But Einstein has usurped credit from tens of scientists. He actually played small roles in all of the principles he is associated with. There are so many other names that people should be using and are not because of that fool.

                    Yeah I understand - how many physicists and mathmaticians are household names though anyway - within the community folks like Hans Bethe and whoever else you might be refering to are well known - and as far as I know their contributions are correctly associated. Sure E gets the credit for relativity when several others were thinking and publishing along similar lines - but he did sort of bring it together and explain it succinctly...and publish...the latter part is very important...and we do attribute much concerning nuclear technology that in fact was developed by others with Einstein having only a tangental theoretical input - oh well - so it goes - but what do I know anyway - I am just a layman...so what are you some kind of egghead physicist or something? I thought you were some kind of scary clown?
