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.

Is your intellectual thinking keeping you from being social?

    I'd say my preference for intellectual pursuits keeps me from having much interest in socializing. As such, I don't consider it a problem. There's nothing wrong with keeping me from doing something I don't want to do anyway. I'm still friendly when I need to be and don't have any trouble in public.

      I am having a problem with someone at this very moment due to this!

      Its amazing how rude these people can be, and how upset I am instead of him! I think he just doesnt understand the situation, and is emotionally repressed (or simply unaware) otherwise he would be upset as well. I dont know how people do cold things without feeling something. Thats getting into another issue though... Andre, its what I mentioned to you the other night.

      Maybe he already has a girl and you're imposing.

          Actually you have no clue what Im talking about, and should probably ask if you want to comment. This has nothing to do with romance, as I would never speak to this guy in real life. He looks like a thug with no future (or ability to think independently) He is stalking me online after I blocked him.

              I would hardly think of a thug as someone who has trouble socializing or high on the intellectual ladder. You shouldn't waste your time.

                    Mouse just so touching...your post #6 in this thread (really - nice to see some heartfelt comments rather then your usual)...but have you ever considered that you have made a catch-22 for yourself? I think that the reason that you feel that you won't meet any gals that can offer you anything intellectually is that you have put blinders on to the fact that there are such women out there (and there certainly are). But of course - you want a subservant woman now don't you? Well smart you may be - but you really must work on your self-confidence - so easily shaken and made fearful by the thought of a woman with intellect...

                    My experience has alwayas been that I've gotten something of value (emotionally, intellectually, and/or lesson wise...at the very least...) from every relationship I have ever been in. But I always went for the independent, more or less intellectual - certainly smart - (and most often older and more experienced) kind of woman. Its all in what one values I guess. And I've rarely ever been in a relationship that I didn't find intellectually stimulating - but I alwasy sought this out...

                    Being alone is fine - and I've often felt as you have expressed (somewhat an outsider - in all things....) - still do in many ways...(I call it a minority of one) - but to desire such at the expense of socializing is IMO a reaction that bespeaks low self esteem. You may think that you are superior - etc - but you seem afraid to test it. And again - while I'm not unfamiliar with the perspective - in my (longer then you've been on this earth) time I've really come to respect the fact that most everyone (well at a certain level) has something to offer - and a great many people just blow me away - I can bask in their awsomeness - I'm not threatened by it....

                      Something else I was just thinking about, which occurs to me when I'm amidst the brain-dead zombies, looking on. Sometimes....after the frustration and aggetation subsides....and I'm not angry and in the mood to kill.....I kind of think about humanity as a whole, and start feeling....sorry for them. I mean....this is it for them. They will go to their graves never experiencing any of what we've talked about. They'll spend their lives being completely unconscious beings, never having fully understood/comprehended/appreciated their own existence. I almost feel bad that this is all their lives will amount to. Yup......aaaaaaalmost......

                      Anybody else ever feel this?
