Website title:

...one fellow is scolding assyrians for only reading the posts and not joining in for a robust discussion of all the problems facing this ridiculous nation...there's the first big problem right there: not understanding the English language.

Anyway he goes on about how all of THEM are working tirelessly, not only on assyria but on the website, on providing a "forum" for free and rigorous discussion...you know?

Of course their notion of free discussions is not what the civilized world would recognize.....you should not insist on passwords and pre-approval if you really want free discussions, especially RIGOROUS ones...and especially about PROBLEMS...any really free discussion around those perameters is going to get occasionally hot and heavy...and when it does, you should not DELETE what you don't like....how come we have found a better way to resolve controversy and opposing points of view? How come we don;t have to ban these people, or block their access to this place? I say it's because we solve the problem, if it sia problem, of too much free speech with even MORE free speech...because the virulently out-of-touch or out-of-date person will quickly realize his weak position and give up all on his own.

I can't imagine any kind of discussion, or even name-calling, on here that would require us to ban or control it....how come Maggie is so jumpy? People aren't writing for two reasons, first they have little that is new, original or intelligible to say and second, of those who do have something to say, many are frustrated by having passwords shoved at them or having their posts rejected if not deleted...so, if Maggie is wondering why more people don't write, let her look to herself as the main reason...also because the very subject over which they sweat is not of interest to any literate person; assyria will not RISE again...Qurds will not be DEFEATED by assyrians and so forth....their entire reason for existence is foolish...and foolish people aren't interesting people with much that is interesting to say, especially not after they have repeated it three times.
