Post 114591 by nasreddin deleted for the following reason: This comes under the heading of "If you are going to make a post about something terrible happening a) to children b) in Israel it needs to be more than a single link saying WTF" Put another way if it's an interesting thing worth looking at beyond outrage at hardcore religious conservative behavior, maybe frame it that way and repost? -- jessamyn

Post 114587 by debord deleted for the following reason: Some problems here: this is kind of all over the place, and maybe too much of a rah-rah! promotional thing and "your own blog" sort of thing, with what's apparently the main link only available to Facebook members. Maybe try redo focusing on the key link/topic, especially if you can find a version of the article that's accessible to all. -- taz

Post 114431 by Fizz deleted for the following reason: There's an active Game of Thrones post AND a MetaTalk post. Even though I am aware this is a different topic, it's still also basically "Hey Game of Thrones" so maybe redirect discussion there or save this til we aren't awash in Game of Thrones? And if you try again, new title? And use the gameofthrones tag -- jessamyn
