Post 128560 by HLD deleted for the following reason: A livestream is a little weird, plus we just did have a post on this topic and maybe this could be a comment in the existing thread. -- mathowie

Car Washing = NCAA Violation? Asking Who Texted You Too?

Post 128549 by theichibun deleted for the following reason: less editorializing more "this is something I found on the web that I'd like to share with people" -- jessamyn

Neil Morrison keeps the track record alive.

Post 128546 by rough ashlar deleted for the following reason: skip the editorializing please. just make a post if it's a think you think people would be interested in. -- jessamyn

LONG, FASCINATING ARTICLE ABOUT AN NYC SCAMMER

Post 128518 by Julian Marsh deleted for the following reason: This is a copypasted article form the new yorker on some totally anonymous blog that exists only to copy this one new yorker article. That is maybe too sketchy for here. -- jessamyn

Post 128493 by mcstayinskool deleted for the following reason: Yeah, this is pretty heavily OP-editorialized / two-minute hate with the batshitinsane tag, etc. -- maybe try again with something a little more substantial? -- taz

Do you permit domestic servants to touch YOUR audio equipment?

Post 128489 by JimInLoganSquare deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, this framed in a pretty editorial way, and furthermore looks like it's mainly a "hey look at these assholes" kind of post, which are both things we try to avoid here. -- LobsterMitten

Interstellar Space Station planned for 2100

Post 128466 by Narrative_Historian deleted for the following reason: Interesting stuff but a single press release is a bit thin for a post. Maybe try again later with some reaction from sources other than the organization itself on the feasibility (or lack thereof) of such a project? Feel free to hit the contact form to run a draft by us or if you have any questions. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Do Teach, Don't Tell

Post 128451 by timsteil deleted for the following reason: "We should have a debate about this" is not a good reason to make a Metafilter post and really needs not to be the text of a post, and this is a wee little writeup of what sounds like a crappy situation but isn't really obviously good post material in its own right. -- cortex

“.. its not so much about the shoes, but the person wearing them.”

Post 128450 by eenagy deleted for the following reason: This reads kind of like you wanting to talk about what you dislike about what other people are talking about. If there's something here beyond that that merits a post, the post needs to be framed a lot differently. -- cortex

Post 128446 by andoatnp deleted for the following reason: I kinda feel like this is a "two op-eds do not make a right" sort of situation. -- cortex

Myth Busters Gives a Home To Judi Bari Bombing Conspirator

Post 128416 by BillW deleted for the following reason: There may be a good post lurking here, and you're welcome to try again, but it's a bit misleading (Doyle has been working with Mythbusters for a while), and it's not clear why this is framed as a "calling out Mythbusters" thing. Maybe make a post about the actual incident and people involved rather than Mythbusters OUTRAGE? -- taz
