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

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

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

"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

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
