In Honor of Mother's Day (late)

Post 115931 by daydreamer deleted for the following reason: Eh, I'm happy she's had a good outcome from this and go kiddo, but the presentation on this is really sort of drawn-out and glurgey and people don't seem to be liking it. -- cortex

"But who are they—I mean, we? What do we call ourselves?"

Post 115928 by a_girl_irl deleted for the following reason: Make this post differently if you are going to make it here. The provocative pull quote and the really touchy topic need to be done differently if you are going to do them on MetaFilter. We don't need to know that the National Review have a bunch of really non-standard and racist opinions. If you want to make a good post that goes well here, do it differently, not as "outrage of the day" Thank you. -- jessamyn

"If you guys were the inventors of the Gettysburg Address, you'd have invented the Gettysburg Address."

Post 115873 by Fizz deleted for the following reason: This seems like not so much an interesting thing as a made up thing, and if the made-up-ness of the thing is interesting enough for a post there could maybe be a post from that perspective but this isn't it. -- cortex

Post 115862 by chrchr deleted for the following reason: This is basically a single Yahoo news link grar filter post that has already turned into people talking about pedophile priests.

Post 115844 by fearfulsymmetry deleted for the following reason: Seems like a neat enough idea but there's almost no content yet. Maybe revisit this in a month or two when there's more there there? -- cortex

Post 115839 by COD deleted for the following reason: This does seem like a pretty thin post as is. -- cortex

Anatomy of a thought process

Post 115834 by Michele in California deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is a little thin for a Mefi post, and the presentation is more appropriate for something on a personal blog. -- taz

A Rebuttal

Post 115810 by Stagger Lee deleted for the following reason: Yeah, probably makes more sense to just include in the previous recent onion thread if it's not already there. Cheers! -- cortex

Having the other gay talk
