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.

    Crimson Glow - I must say I'm not really sure of what your talking about - but it made me think that there are all kinds of people who could - from their perspectives - think and say that they were doing the mosty wonderful things that others were missing out on - like climbing Everest, scuba diving, going into space, saving lives, being a porn star - what have you - that perhaps give them perspectives and experiences that the vast majority of us will never have...so before you start thinking yourself so special....

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?
      I think this when I first realize it about the person, but if they cross the line... just frustration. I know what you mean though - sad indeed. I no longer feel guilty about being snobby to them.

        What I dont understand is how you feel qualified to judge in such a way. You horrible horrible person. (The hypocrisy in the previous two sentences was purposefully construed). But seriously, do yourself a favor and dont "almost" feel sorry for these people. They have a lot more going for them than you think.

            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....
            I'm glad you find my post touching perhaps even intimidating. The weakness of your post is that you think I want a "subservant" woman. You further assume that I have not given women a chance, whatever that means. What makes you think I haven't already met women or know one who matches my intellect? But as usual with all the posts that you make, it lacks substance and is not topical. It is your personal cry for help to the world. After all, are you not the man who "gets off" watching your wife with other men? There is no catch-22 aside from what your presumptions make it. I am confident in the solitude of my thoughts. I lay my secrets openly, you do not need to hide yours.

            Your rant has less to do with the thread at hand, than it has with trying to smear me, because you have always felt intimidated and of a lesser man next to me. You cannot stand my bluntness and my confidence in the fact that I seek solitude from the herd, which you bask in because it is within that collective rabble where you find your sheepish wants reinforced, it is there where you find validation since you lack the inherent qualities of a standing stone.

            The fact that you equate choosing not to associate with those who are ignorant, to low self-esteem, speaks volumes of where you come from. Usually such people are labelled as "stuck up". I "seem" afraid to test it? I disagree my plebian friend. I do not seem to be afraid, I simply do not choose to associate with those ignorant, because I want to remain misunderstood. Because you do not know me, and you are not me, you cannot ever understand that. Why is one stuck up for choosing not to relate to those who are below him, because in this world of inequality some are above others, contrary to your disney version of reality? It is precisely that confidence I have that I do not need to associate with those stupider than I. To equate that with low self esteem is exactly the twisted way you think, because you believe that if you don't associate with those stupider than yourself, you will not be validated, and essentially the meaninglessness of existence will form a mist on your mirrors. You choose women who are more intelligent, more dominant and older than you. Can there be lower self esteem than that?

            The only thing I am threatened by is when ignorance forces itself to associate with me. Let my solitude reign in peace.
