"the lie to the notion that obesity is a closed question"
Post 130466 by andoatnp deleted for the following reason: There is actually an open thread about obesity that is not going so well. If you'd like to post this there, that is fine but we do not need another obesity thread at this time. -- jessamyn

Radley Balko, Anatomy of a Right-Wing Activist on the Internet
Post 130404 by ennui.bz deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed action, but this is not a great post for Mefi - ad hominem, via an editorially undiscriminating site, etc - and people are giving strong feedback against it. -- LobsterMitten

"Pepper Pike" seeks compensation for psychological injury
Post 130381 by This, of course, alludes to you deleted for the following reason: This sure seems unwarranted, but beyond that this is a thin story (he's filing, that's it) and I'm not sure that there's anything to discuss here. -- LobsterMitten
Here we go again...but with a twist
Post 130380 by JujuB deleted for the following reason: It is terrible that another incident like this has happened but we have just been through a couple of very lengthy threads about the Zimmerman case, and I don't know that we need to have the exact same discussions over again so soon. -- LobsterMitten

These are not the briefs you're looking for...
Post 130320 by bitter-girl.com deleted for the following reason: This seems like an unfortunate point-and-laugh situation. "Hard times for grads" is a thing we can talk about, or maybe there's more to this story than just mocking this dude? If so, feel free to repost with more info. -- taz

Post 130196 by OnceUponATime deleted for the following reason: Hey, we've seen the main A Boy and His Atom movie link here before. Some of these other links are great, though, so maybe edit and put it a new version tomorrow? You can also reach us through the contact form. -- LobsterMitten

No Woman's Body Found Today

Racial profiling: "Thinking the issue through"
Post 130075 by Mr.Know-it-some deleted for the following reason: There's multiple Zimmerman/Martin threads open and pairing a couple of opinion pieces with an incendiary pullquote does not seem like a good reason to start this up as an ancillary addition to that pile. -- cortex

Post 130074 by four panels deleted for the following reason: If there's more to this than just sort of a press release "this event will occur here" level of info, maybe rework this with some more substantial content? -- cortex

Glee star Cory Monteith has been found dead in a Vancouver hotel
Post 129979 by I_Love_Bananas deleted for the following reason: Hey, if you'd like to make an obit post, it needs to be more than just a single link to a news story. Maybe try again? -- taz
Maybe It IS The New Trans-Fat

George Zimmerman found not guilty in Trayvon Martin murder

"I’m an endangered species. I shouldn’t be anymore."
Post 129888 by MartinWisse deleted for the following reason: If this is a conversation MetaFilter is going to have that is going to go well, you need to start with a different post than this. Leave the edgy make-people-mad quotes out of it and explain why it's something interesting you think people will want to talk about. -- jessamyn

"By Any Serious Examination this Man is a War Criminal"
Post 129874 by gman deleted for the following reason: Hey, I agree with much of the sentiment in the speech, but still, it's sort of too thin - a non-US politician making a speech against US foreign policy, describing things most of us know about and agree are bad - and grarbaity to go well as a post here. -- LobsterMitten

Because this is what monopolies do
Post 129851 by mightygodking deleted for the following reason: This feels a little like outrage-bait from an interested party; maybe there's a better post to be made about Amazon's pricing practices that isn't so much just one link to a blog by a however-justifiably-annoyed publishing house's digital media guy? -- cortex

The psychological dynamics of sexual assault
Post 129683 by gemutlichkeit deleted for the following reason: This is an interesting essay that may need some more framing and might go better at a time when we don't have multiple active threads about various assault/harassment/rape topics. Maybe it might go better in one of those threads for now? -- jessamyn

HPV vaccine developer speaks out
Post 129620 by whalebreath deleted for the following reason: This is about something that happened in 2009 and doesn't seem to have gained a lot of traction. Maybe a larger post about this issue but single link sensational articles about vaccines are sort of a no-go here. -- jessamyn

Post 129606 by MeanwhileBackAtTheRanch deleted for the following reason: Unless I'm misreading this "wall of shame" has only two entries. Seems a bit thin especially considering the topic. Maybe post it as a comment in the existing Snowden thread. -- goodnewsfortheinsane
