The "J" word.

[Mukuch]

Why the word xxx (J_E_W) is banned in this site? Is it kind of obscenity? Common guys that is just plain stupid….
While state of Israel has adopted officially a hypocrite denial position about AG , most of the xxxs are very supportive of our cause Lets do not forget who Adam Shif and Radanovich are….

apparently a long time ago, users were using the term Je w as an insult, so instead of reprimanding the users and going back an editing or deleting the posts like mods are supposed to, they just censored the word, putting it on par with words like phuck, and even making it a greater insult.

Even if it was done with the best intentions, it makes us look racist,
especially to the countless guests that come by here

Ara that wasn't it at all.
That might be coming off the censor list actually, I would have done it but I don't have access to that anymore. I'll see what I can do.

Re: The "J" word.

I agree with Mukuch and Ara………….not only this is not right and shows anti-semitism it also alienates many xxxish friends and supporters that we have. I know some here wrongly believe that Zionism had a hand in AG (there is video somewhere in this forum that must be deleted as well) which is totally a big bulldust and btw, this plays right into the Turkish propaganda machine trying to divert their own fault and making us look racist and loose credibility in the eyes of the Western world.

For the last time Judaism isn't a race... and referring to someone as Christian, Muslim or xxxish isn't an insult!

Re: The "J" word.

The main problem is, there are a bunch of supposed "Armenians" whose whole life revolves around that word. They wake up in the morning thinking about it, they eat breakfast thinking about it, they live it, breath it, and even go to sleep with it. Unfortunately they had started turning this forum into a dumping ground of all sorts of crap (some good, some bad, but most of it idiotic nonsense).

The problem is that big-time search engines pick it up and then you start getting even more idiots (or people who aren't necessarily interested in Armenian discusssions) showing up looking for that specific term. I am not saying Israel and jews and their role in the world has nothing to do with Armenia and Armenians ... but since we all know what xxx is (those of us that actually read the conversations ), I don't think it's much of a problem leaving it that way.

However, hits from google have been rising from people searching for xxx
