Post 158287 by backseatpilot deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry to delete, but we've had a sequence of long fighty threads about SF and its horrible rents, and I'm reluctant to open another one that will just be more of the same. -- LobsterMitten

Finally, a Solution to Gun-Shaped Guns

Post 158249 by crazylegs deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, but this is kind of a mashup of news-of-the-weird short blurb, promo for something gross, get-your-hate-on, hot button topic, bare newsfilter, clickbait -- taz

Rush After 'A Rape On Campus'

Post 158260 by AaronDaMommio deleted for the following reason: This isn't precisely timely, and we had a lot of conversation about this topic when it was. Probably better to let it go even if this particular analysis never made it to the front page. -- restless_nomad

"I CAN'T DO THIS!!!"

Post 158168 by yes I said yes I will Yes deleted for the following reason: Heya, I thought at first glance that bits of this post were just unmarked quotations, but after some searching of the links it seems like this is actually in significant part you sticking personal opinion about the issue on the front page, which isn't really how it's supposed to work with posts. -- cortex

A modest proposal

Post 158157 by How the runs scored deleted for the following reason: All other questions of how to parse this aside, "here is a petition" is a non-starter for a post to the front page as a matter of general practice. -- cortex
