Post 95971 by tybeet deleted for the following reason: This is not an okay post for MetaFilter. These posts go badly here. People are already being jerks in this one. If you want to make a post about I/P issues it needs to not be framed like this. There are many other places on the internet you can go to talk about Israel. You can go to MetaTalk to talk about this if you want to. -- jessamyn

what's the deal with Metafilter anyway?

Post 95812 by grateful deleted for the following reason: Maybe make a post not look like a weird stunty rant if it's actually something that you want to stick around? There's artsy framing and then there's just dooming your own post from the getgo. -- cortex

Post 95665 by zarq deleted for the following reason: I feel like when a lot of the discussion in the thread is people acknowledging that they can't even stomach reading the central link, it might be something that good intentions aside just isn't a great idea for a post.
