Think Different

Post 173827 by Lanark deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed delete, but it looks like there isn't much here to do but have the same old Anti-Apple / Pro-Apple fight we've had a million times before. If there's something new worth thoughtful discussion on this topic maybe a different sort of post might draw that out? -- taz

Hey Zuck, Hold My Beer

Post 173775 by Literaryhero deleted for the following reason: This is a weird and crappy-sounding situation, but given the combination of sticky legal process/argument stuff at the heart of it we'd probably be better off with a more thorough article or set of links to lay out the territory than this kinda short blurby approach. -- cortex

Giving the gift of life

Post 173736 by pjern deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, it's fine to do a post the topic of organ donation, but we don't do PSAs per se, or personal messages (OP editorial voice) sorts of announcements in the same way we don't do fundraisers. Please contact us to talk about how to edit and we can undelete. Thanks. -- taz

EAR/ONS

Post 173729 by spaceburglar deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed delete here; the framing with the bits of editorial voice isn't the way FPPs are meant to go, and the enthusiastic tone here is a pretty jarring combo with the horrible subject matter. -- LobsterMitten

Don’t watch if you have pet rodents

Post 173686 by nicebookrack deleted for the following reason: Appreciate the explicit warnings here, but maybe not the best venue for gory content. -- LobsterMitten

Fluffy or food? Depends on the beholder.

Post 173682 by Armed Only With Hubris deleted for the following reason: Sympathetic to the main point here, but the framing of this outragefilter piece as an accusation of hypocrisy toward people elsewhere who were getting upset about something a year ago, is a setup for just a really, really weird fight. -- LobsterMitten

Organizers Cancel Universal FanCon After Raising $56,000 on Kickstarter

Post 173681 by WCityMike deleted for the following reason: Instantly reposting a deleted post isn't a great way to go. (It creates a clear pathway for people to get self-link/signal-boost content posted to Mefi, just post it, get deleted, and someone will repost it verbatim for you.) I assume your intentions are good here but this creates a needlessly awkward situation. -- LobsterMitten

This time, no one gets an extra hour in the ball pit.

Post 173680 by nonasuch deleted for the following reason: Heya, I'm sorry this is happening, but it's also a bit of a weird situation if you're one of the artists and part of organizing an alternative event -- no question that your intentions are good here, but this ends up being a little too close to a self-link. -- LobsterMitten

"Facemash Creator Survives the Ad Board"

Post 173489 by athirstforsalt deleted for the following reason: While a good new in-depth Facebook post updating the current situation and giving background would be fine, this is more of a personal comment and a couple of older links, which would be better posted in one of the currently open threads here or here. Thanks. -- taz

Post 173476 by carter deleted for the following reason: Hey sorry, it's possible that a new in-depth post with info on the evolving current situation with Facebook could be valuable at this point, but this isn't really that, and the existing thread is still open. -- taz
