Irony isn't dead, but...
Post 79526 by Pope Guilty deleted for the following reason: This was pretty well covered previously, and this is kind of a hell of a way to put together a post on the topic regardless. -- cortex
Antonio Belchior
Post 79521 by sluglicker deleted for the following reason: My best to the Belchoirs, but this is either a very bad idea or a very bad idea done to make some sort of point. -- cortex

Has the modern Film Critic slipped through the interwebs cracks?
Post 79458 by Lacking Subtlety deleted for the following reason: It looks like you put a lot of work into this, but it really reads like a personal blog post more than something that makes sense as a post to Metafilter. -- cortex

Post 79342 by AZNsupermarket deleted for the following reason: Stumping for cause/awareness stuff is generally not a great idea on the front page. -- cortex

Big Brother Tivo Is Here To Help
Post 79296 by nomisxid deleted for the following reason: It seems like there's a mix of maybe interesting content here and really kind of weird and not particularly accessible presentation; maybe someone wants to try a do-over that makes it a little bit more clear what this is all about and isn't quite so much like an entry on a DVR enthusiast's blog? -- cortex

Post 79145 by orthogonality deleted for the following reason: Seems kind a fucked up, but man you could have framed this post a lot differently than quoting the kos rhetoric and laying on the outrage-bait. -- cortex

Whopper Virgins Remixed
Post 79115 by mariolapinski deleted for the following reason: The editorialization in this post is bad; the fact that you've (done work for? been featured by?) Deconstructing Dinner in the past is worse. -- cortex

Post 79108 by rageagainsttherobots deleted for the following reason: If there's a way to rip the spine out of a post with soaring rhetoric, that's what I'm doing right now. -- cortex

Post 79103 by dbarefoot deleted for the following reason: I assumed at first that you were quoting a blurb, not actually talking about your friend here. That's not really cool. -- cortex

Over the shirt or under?
Post 79072 by changeling deleted for the following reason: I think we're into the point of XKCD and Metafilter's relationship where "new, somewhat more elaborate than usual comic!" doesn't generally cut it as a post. -- cortex
An Open Letter to a New York Times reporter
Post 79067 by incessant deleted for the following reason: I kind of respect in theory the high-concept open-letter-as-post-structure thing I guess you're going for here, but that said this is really not a good fit for the front page of metafilter so much as it is a badass personal blog entry. Kind blows waaaay past the "don't editorialize" boundry here. -- cortex

Falsified data, vaccines, and autism
Post 79029 by blahblahblah deleted for the following reason: This is a nice collection of links, but we just had an MMR/vaccine-controversy/etc post on Friday. Probably best to add this stuff as a comment in there. -- cortex
Driftwood Horses
Post 79022 by headspace deleted for the following reason: Pretty much done before; with art-related posts, it's not a bad idea to try and track the work down to the actual artist(s) involved anyway to avoid encouraging these scrape-and-don't-credit middleman things when possible. -- cortex

Post 78999 by jon_hansen deleted for the following reason: these sort of "oh look, I swiped your content" posts are a little "eh" and worse so when the general topic is already creepy and..... well, creepy. -- jessamyn

Post 78915 by jon_hansen deleted for the following reason: netcraft vs. bananakind previously. And, honestly, a link to a short-ish 6-year-old article isn't exactly primo post material in most cases. -- cortex

A plea from the state of Tamilnadu (India)
Post 78871 by hadjiboy deleted for the following reason: Kind of thin-ish, "here's a couple news stories" post is borderline. Acting like a jerk to people in thread about it is well into not-okay territory. Someone is welcome to give this another shot with more context and less defensiveness. -- cortex
