Post 170845 by zooropa deleted for the following reason: Sorry, I know you don't intend it this way -- and if someone wants to do a post about North Korea's missile program/what's going on there, that would be fine -- but backing into it by way of a West Wing episode feels inappropriately frivolous. -- LobsterMitten

A compendium of recent stories of sexual misconduct in the TV Industry
Post 170858 by electronicattic deleted for the following reason: Posting a site you work for to the front page of MetaFilter is against the rules and ground for immediate banning. -- cortex
"I don’t know where to put all my feelings about Woody Allen"
Post 170830 by I_Love_Bananas deleted for the following reason: Hey, this has been linked here, which is probably a good place to discuss rather than repeating the "separating artist from the art" conversation again in a new post, or adding to the recent overload of sexual assault posts. -- taz

Equal Justice — Respectfully yours, Rosa L. Parks
Post 170822 by kliuless deleted for the following reason: This is really not framing that is kind to readers who may not be braced for this subject. -- restless_nomad

“I introduced it critically...It was in the spirit of the debate.”
Post 170792 by Fizz deleted for the following reason: Heya, I appreciate the effort that you put into this followup stuff, but there's a recent and still-open Jordan Peterson thread and I don't think we are gonna benefit from running a second one in parallel. Please go ahead and add some of this to that one if you're inclined. -- cortex
Besides all the corn, of course.
Post 170803 by vs deleted for the following reason: Maybe try this again with a little more narrow framing about what this list actually represents (what kind of companies, how chosen), to set expectations better? -- LobsterMitten

Libertarians love child labor, but still.
Post 170788 by witchen deleted for the following reason: I don't think this is going to work in the tweetstorm format, sorry, and I think a more considered essay (rather than a fairly superficial live-react) would be better-received. -- Eyebrows McGee
a “Moz Angeles High School” T-shirt is involved
Post 170776 by betweenthebars deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but there's not really a way to have a Morrissey post at this time without it just being another de facto angry discussion about powerful/rich men and sexual assault, and we've had such a pile of those lately we're trying to keep them reined in a bit -- taz

What do Manson, Hubbard, and Heinlein Have in Common?
Post 170768 by MovableBookLady deleted for the following reason: This can probably go either in the active Manson thread or the active "problems with sci-fi" thread. -- Eyebrows McGee

Hacking the repeal of net neutrality
Post 170754 by StrawberryPie deleted for the following reason: Heya, yeah, probably will suffice for now to keep discussion of these to the recent Net Neutrality thread you've noted. -- cortex

Are you familiar with Foucault?
Post 170681 by sockermom deleted for the following reason: Heya, sorry, this is fairly brief and we've talked about how we've had a glut of "here's a short thing about sexism/misogyny" posts, and we're trying out a slightly higher bar for these. -- LobsterMitten

My Vagina Is Terrific. Your Opinion About It Is Not.
Post 170640 by stillmoving deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but we've had a flood of posts about how men are bad, mansplaining, men being bad online, men being bad at emotional labor, how men are abusive, etc. and it's becoming overwhelming for the site. We agree that this is a bad thing, but we're going to try to not have several posts a day on the same topics and the same discussions, and maybe suggest adding to existing thread(s) instead. -- taz
Love It or Leave It -
Post 170647 by adamvasco deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the late delete, but the source appears pretty low-quality, so there's not much to discuss but the low quality of the source. There's an open Brexit thread where this can go, or a more thorough post with more credible sources would help this one build a reasonable discussion. -- Eyebrows McGee

You're Bad Enough, You're Dumb Enough, and Doggone It, People Hate You
Post 170612 by WCityMike deleted for the following reason: This is being actively discussed in the current catch-all politics thread and we're overdosing lately on sexual-assault-on-the-front-page stuff, so let's keep it there. -- cortex

The other day, I sat on the beach, had a few cans & watched the tides.
Post 170605 by ambrosen deleted for the following reason: I'm sorry but FT's paywall is unforgiving, so this is probably not going to work. -- goodnewsfortheinsane
