Post 161136 by BigHeartedGuy deleted for the following reason: Let's keep additional RNC reaction stuff to yesterday's thread for now. -- cortex
The most terribly responsible job any man ever had.
Post 161129 by everybody had matching towels deleted for the following reason: Oof, timing. I appreciate you put some work into assembling this, ehmt, but we've had pretty breakneck US election posting the last several days, and if there's a Clinton VP announcement today I'm okay with a post at that point and focused on that, but I'd really rather we not kick a speculative discussion off early just for the sake of getting going sooner. -- cortex

10 dead in Munich shooting
Post 161145 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: I'm still in the same place as I was earlier: terrible thing but not necessarily something that makes sense to have a post about. However, for folks in our connected to the Munich area, there is a check-in thread on MetaTalk. -- cortex

Shooting in Munich Shopping Center leaves 6 dead
Post 161142 by Glow Bucket deleted for the following reason: Heya, see previous; I feel like it might be better to think about a post about this later when and if it's clear there something more to post about than just the (definitely awful) fact that someone has killed a bunch of people. -- cortex

White Culture
Post 161075 by aniola deleted for the following reason: Heya, it seems like there's some pretty interesting stuff behind this but I feel like with the really stripped-down pamphlet lead-in and not much context in the post this is gonna make for at best a kind of a rocky, disjointed thread on a somewhat challenging set of topics. Maybe reframe it around a more substantial above-the-fold look at the subject and give it another go? -- cortex

Martha Nussbaum, The Philosopher of Feelings
Post 161057 by cgc373 deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is fine to post, but the pull quote is not at all representative of the overall focus of the article (which is, briefly, much more about aging, and intertwining concepts) -- and for those who won't read this very long piece, will lead to this one sort of dramatically phrased single idea being argued. Please contact us if you'd like to do a quick edit! -- taz
The best revenge on the haters is to run for President
Post 161053 by JHarris deleted for the following reason: We are saturated with Trump right now over in the RNC thread - let's either hold this or deal with it there. Thanks! -- restless_nomad

I am interested in complicating your definition of maleness and boyhood
Post 160982 by one teak forest deleted for the following reason: No harm done and I get the motivation that it's an interesting piece of writing, but we've deleted this a couple times already, see the original; there's a MetaTalk in the queue that I'll run with in the morning where we can talk about it for those who want more detail on the reasoning. -- cortex
Love Thy Neighbor?
Post 160980 by blue_beetle deleted for the following reason: Smoochy smoochy! Probably better to drop this in the open election thread. -- LobsterMitten
I don't correct them. I never correct anyone.
Post 160975 by Anyamatopoeia deleted for the following reason: Sorry, we've deleted this a few times. Basically, the essay has a number of elements that will make it too hard to have a workable discussion about it here. -- LobsterMitten
