We have not yet begun to shape the world: we are living in the one you created. And it’s killing us.
Post 117312 by yellowbinder deleted for the following reason: Maybe just add this to the other "kids today"-ish post from this morning; I feel like a long-form rhetorical badminton match by proxy between different sides of a presumed cohesive group/generational conflict makes for a not-great premise for metafilter threads just in general. -- cortex

the Slayers Guide to an Internet Controversy
Post 117263 by happyroach deleted for the following reason: Rape + internet outrage + a whole bunch of inflammatory material quoted in the post itself makes this a not-ideal post for Metafilter. -- restless_nomad
No one can tell you're a dog
Post 117258 by Chocolate Pickle deleted for the following reason: Sort of a single link Daily Mail article with added dramaz and people behaving badly. -- jessamyn

Top DEA agent won’t admit heroin more harmful than marijuana
Post 117221 by sensi63 deleted for the following reason: This doesn't seem to be very meaty and the framing is a wee bit editorializing. -- restless_nomad

Rodney King found dead
Post 117036 by metaxa deleted for the following reason: Hey - this is breaking news and as such is super thin for the front page. Maybe wait until there's a little more substance to report? -- restless_nomad

Speaking Of Racist Advertising...
Post 117021 by artof.mulata deleted for the following reason: It looks like the framing basically made this not about the actual link - feel free to try again tomorrow with different framing. -- restless_nomad

Post 116996 by snaparapans deleted for the following reason: There is way too much editorializing in this post for it to be appropriate for Metafilter. If you want to try again tomorrow and dial the opinion way down, feel free. -- restless_nomad

The Kashi GoLEAN Crunch FartFest
Post 116934 by nowhere man deleted for the following reason: This is a five year old blog post that is basically a fart joke that links to a NSFW-ish blog with photos of dead dogs and feces (not together) on the main page. Maybe it's not a great post for MetaFilter. -- jessamyn

Doodle Art now has an iPad app
Post 116865 by HopStopDon'tShop deleted for the following reason: Heya, I dig the enthusiasm but as just a sort of "here's an app, here's my personal endorsement" thing this feels weird as a post. -- cortex
"Oh when, oh when, will the Keys to the Kingdom be mine again"?
Post 116860 by Colonel Panic deleted for the following reason: Maybe do this slightly over without the "I linked to the same video twice" and without the rhetorical question stuff? It's a nice video, as videos go, but is there something that makes it something for MetaFilter? -- jessamyn

The not-so invisible hand
Post 116781 by Artw deleted for the following reason: Single link blog op-ed. We're at the point in the US election cycle where if you want to make a post about things that are happening within or among one US party or another, it's got to be more of a post than this. Maybe put a larger post together about it? -- jessamyn
Watch out, Virgin America, you've got a real charmer on board!
Post 116773 by unSane deleted for the following reason: This is kind of an interesting story but it's of dubious veracity at this point. Possibly revisit it when someone reputable has done some fact-checking? -- restless_nomad

Bork is Back
Post 116743 by snaparapans deleted for the following reason: This is just a short blog post that mentions the Bork thing in passing. Maybe something more in-depth? -- taz
U r so smooth
Post 116726 by BobbyVan deleted for the following reason: I feel like if this is worth posting about (maybe give it a couple days and see if something more substantial develops, for that matter) it needs to be done a little differently, maybe skipping the axe-grindy site as one of the primary links. -- cortex

Is our perception deeply and pervasively shaped by how we feel about the things we perceive?
Post 116681 by i_wear_boots deleted for the following reason: This is a single link press release that you have copied the first paragraph from. Maybe if this is something you want to see on MeFi you could make more of a post about it? -- jessamyn
