Post 152003 by nolnacs deleted for the following reason: We've definitely had some long, difficult discussions about this general topic several times, and I think even one in the last years specifically about Jonathan Haidt's opinions about this stuff; not really sure this is a good enough reason to do it again. -- cortex

Post 152018 by wilful deleted for the following reason: We already have a post on this subject today, and it tends to be a touchy one. Feed free to mention this there. -- restless_nomad

The laugh with a mouthful of blood
Post 151990 by bq deleted for the following reason: Sorry, Caitlin Flanagan is pretty much a troll and we've had plenty of threads about how college students today are whiny babies/PC police and what Jerry Seinfeld thinks about it (one example here). -- LobsterMitten
One Year in Ferguson

"We have a heritage; we have a tradition"
Post 151937 by reenum deleted for the following reason: Sorry, this is sort of local-newsfilter, of troubled/unhappy family situation with ties to many hot button issues; not clear why it's a great post for MeFi. -- LobsterMitten

"In our state, guns are used for hunting."
Post 151945 by markkraft deleted for the following reason: This is pretty editorial framing and hopping right in with political axegrindfilter over a freak occurrence is both distasteful and not going to lead to a good thread. -- LobsterMitten

Reddit's Greatest Hits?
Post 151726 by Another Fine Product From The Nonsense Factory deleted for the following reason: Some problems here: the personal framing is a bit off for Mefi, and "because there's been some bad press, I went looking for something good from Reddit" isn't really a great basis for a post. If you'd like to focus on one of the stories and frame a post based on the site/info itself rather than Reddit's recent trouble, that would be better. Please contact us if you have questions. -- taz
