Hope
Post 109792 by Wyatt deleted for the following reason: I totally appreciate you're trying to provide some context, but you've basically buried the actual meat in a pile of wikipedia pages and mefi site searches here in a way that is pretty distracting. Maybe a do-over that's a little clearer about the lede or just add this to one of the open OWS threads. -- cortex

Post 109725 by mattnorthwesterncollege deleted for the following reason: Not totally sure what you are going for here, but maybe try this again tomorrow so it's clear that you are clear that you are making a post to MetaFilter and not asking a question in AskMe? -- jessamyn

It's that Seventies Show
Post 109681 by three blind mice deleted for the following reason: You appear to have quoted a crazypants Forbes article and are conflating things that are only nominally connected in this editorializing dogwhistle of a post that basically says "come fight with me" -- jessamyn

Press banned in occypy rallies
Post 109590 by armisme deleted for the following reason: I am sorry, I know OWS is a very big deal to the people in it, but posts about it have to not be editorializing and have to meet a decent standard, same as all newsfilter posts. If you'd like please put this into one of the Occupy threads currently in progress. -- jessamyn

Whispering Apples
Post 109502 by jeffburdges deleted for the following reason: Wow, I realize how weird it is to delete this today, but this post is full of editorializing, first-person voice, and really is a your-own-blog kind of thing. If someone wants to do a more objective post on the Tor news, that's fine. -- taz

Tax the Churches
Post 109476 by homerica deleted for the following reason: This is a difficult topic that maybe needs to be fleshed out a little if you'd like to make a post on it, pointing to the moving target of the comments section in a major newspaper is maybe not the best way to do this. Please ask us if you have questions. -- jessamyn

WyldLife: get 'em while they're young
Post 109226 by Lon Mem deleted for the following reason: With the sort of chatty personal/editorial tone of this, it reads more like a blog post than something for the front page of Mefi. Maybe rewrite and try again later if this is worth posting about as something other than just "look at this crappy organization". -- cortex
