The rest of To Serve and Protect - it's... it's a cookbook!
Post 125476 by Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug deleted for the following reason: This is sort of a double-link outragefilter post which is getting no favors done because of the jokey headline. Otherwise it's sort of news of the weird as presented. -- jessamyn

Post 125474 by flapjax at midnite deleted for the following reason: This is a notoriously problematic topic here and I think we need more than "List from Greenpeace" to kick off another discussion. -- jessamyn

Harm Reduction Talk Controversy
Post 125417 by jeffburdges deleted for the following reason: This seems like it's a bit short on info, with only one side, briefly presented. If there's a good discussion to be had about this, maybe you can work it up a little more to keep it from just being outrage fodder? -- taz

Post 125406 by vozworth deleted for the following reason: Great news but a couple of paragraphs announcing that a bill's been introduced is pretty darn thin. -- LobsterMitten

Post 125380 by photodegas deleted for the following reason: It may be a good idea to do this over as more of a "here is a thing on the web" and less of an editorial? -- jessamyn

You would never call me baby
Post 125107 by FirstMateKate deleted for the following reason: This is pulling a lot of different hot-button issues (censorship, porn, gay porn, suicide, mental health) under the same umbrella, while not really offering any insights or info aside from suggesting these are related, and as such is ripe for more-heat-than-light discussion. Maybe think about a re-do on this, and contact us if you have any questions. -- taz

Post 124853 by Blazecock Pileon deleted for the following reason: We've had a lot of gun control posts lately, many of which are still ongoing -- so a single-link OP/ED sort of thing isn't really great. Maybe revisit this when there are some cartoons? -- taz

The Dorner Manifesto
Post 124792 by fantodstic deleted for the following reason: This is sort of a "better for your own blog" presentation with OP opinion front and center and OP explanation of the situation (instead of links), plus only a single link to the manifesto with no other framing, analysis or background = not a great way to post this here. -- taz

Post 124647 by Charlemagne In Sweatpants deleted for the following reason: If there's something more interesting going on here than a Fox web property reporting that Fox News reported that some tea party people set up a website, it needs to be in the post somehwere, and if not this seems like kind of nothing worth posting about. -- cortex
