If you're going to stick a sign on the door says "Forum"...then deliver a forum. Look the word up if you have to, but know what service you're providing. It isn't a forum when you ban and delete people who come in the door expecting to get a forum...because they tell you you misrepresented yourself when they see it's a private message bored. And banning them for it just proves their point. If you're selling cardboard and calling it Virginia Baked Ham...don't, on top of the fraud, get angry with the customers who complain about being duped...and then tell them Free Speech doesn't mean they have the right to tell you you cheated them, but YOU have the privilege of misrepresenting yourself.

Peter has a private message bored, not a forum, for those he approves of...they all do. Of course they're entitled to such a thing...it's their right under the Constitution, but it's considered misrepresetation when you don't bother to know what it is you're actually providing...and they don't reciprocate...they don't extend to the readers, especially the disgruntled ones, the right to be disgruntled...it's a two-way street anywhere but in these thingies of theirs and in Iraq of course.

And just what would they do if there was no banning or deleting option? What if you couldn't get rid of what you didn't like? What if you couldn't make people disappear and never have to deal with them? Do you think Peter could maintain himself then? Could there even BE an aina then? Isn`t REAL freedom death to these boys? It seems the only way Ben can talk "facts" is if no one is left to disagree. Every time we get onto those forums we go through a predictable progression...first there are some replies to what we post..then people get angrier and angrier and blame US for it...why? You don't like it ignore it. You can`t answer, go read a book. What do you do in the REAL world where you can`t delete Turks and Arabs and Muslims? Get other Christians to kill them for you and steal their lands and rob their treasures?

Then come the outright demands for banning people and ideas you don't want to hear...and what if it couldn't be done? Do you think Peter would stay on the air? Do you think Ben would? They can't carry on a conversation for two posts withut wanting to slam the doors of the "forum" shut. You can't do that in Life...you can't do that out there...out there you have to stand up for yourself or get run over. It would be better to prepare as if we really intended to do anything about anything besides complain and issue diclarations and demands and petitions no one pays any attention to.

Now, not to brag for what's to brag abut..our thingie is indeed a "Forum". But...because it IS one..that is, because it IS free and open to all ideas and therefore the boys can't be PROMISED ahead of time they won't have to see or read disagreeable things, they don't bother. A REAL Forum scares these boys as you can see, they all say they don't have the time to waste but we all see them wasting plenty of it so that can't be it...it's because they very quickly run out of things to say because what they know they memorized long ago at the foot of a priest and besides they have awfuly thin skins and feel "picked" upon a lot.... not a one of them has enough gumption to come onto a true forum...instead they all hide out with their pals...which is also their right..but it isn't a Forum and it isn't a forum they're looking for...what they want is a private chat room that's pretending not to be...and when the mask is pulled off...well they go in for maintenance and banning.

Hell we DRAG people over just so we can answer them...we force our thingie to accomodate what the others are busy banning and deleting...you can make fun of an Assyrian all you want to..challenge his or her ideas, call them names, insult them...what can it matter? If your opponent is an Assyrian you can do anything you want to back to him or her...except give a straight direct answer, it seems, and take what you dish out.

Lets grow a little...let's close ALL the thingies down and open one, real, genuine Forum...throw it wide open for a year and see who's left standing at the end...I bet it will be Assyrians.

We are victimizing each other and ourselves...no one else is doing it that I can see. And DON`T tell me about 1564 and 1234 and 1915 and and 1931...not unless you`re ready to condemn 2004 as well...or is the point just to slam Islam? Do we care about ANY Assyrian killed by ANYBODY...or are some Assyrians more valuable than others? And would that be the Christian ones???
