Certainly, what is being written about does represent a genuine conversation, regardless of whether others like what is being written, whether non-Armenians understand the reasons why the Diasporan mentality is like it is, or whether they deal with issues inside or outside the Republic.

On the other hand, I don’t know which is worse and its a pity that Nathan is siding with her and New Eurasia rather than those that truly represent the Armenian blogosphere. Of course, Nathan is also no stranger to controversy when it comes to Armenian blogs (Google cache). [...] [...] Ambitious and self-serving she may be, but she is not a spy.

To each his own. What got me upset is the third paragraph of comment 36. Perhaps it was not your intent to suggest I'm doing what I do as part of some government mission. Others have said that. It's silly, and I tire of it very quickly. Well, FWIW, I don’t really view it as research. To each his own.

It's clear that what you are doing here is your own business, since you sure have not really stated clearly what it is that you are doing. I guess I also in your terms are researching, since I spend quite a bit of my time reading blogs. So fellow researcher, enjoy your life and have a happy new year. Sorry if I upset you Nathen.

GVO has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't put something like this over there because it would be improper. And, again, I stress for all you children out there who can't get this through your thick skulls, it is possible for people to have different opinions from your own without them being paid agents of governments. GVO isn't a research initiative. It is a blog to highlight discussions taking place on blogs around the world. Many of the Armenian blogs are actually on kind of a fine line between "locals blogging" and "outsiders looking in." (Not that this is a bad thing. English language Central Asia blogs were dominated by westerners until recently.) Greg, what I do here is my own business. GVO has nothing to do with it.

So if this is a true statement, then you are doing reasearch and not to share your opinion or stir things up like you have. I would also guess that the standard for what you are doing when things bug you is to ignore them and don't let them get the best of you, unless as part of your "research," you are supose to share your opinion to see what reaction you get, which is a standard practice used in "research" from the Department of State and other government orgs. If you are in fact a reseracher, then you have made a mistake in sharing your opinion, that is unless you are finished with your "research" and are now ready to publish your findings.
