Oh dear
"Eat flaming dogs***, you c*cksucking, Streisand loving, m*therf*cking ___hole! Hit the road, postchoad." Oh dear.
The Left shall rise again?
This is probably pointless, so here goes nothing:
"Instead of South vs North, this time it will be Right vs Left.
Sounds good to me. I doubt the world will shed too many tears if these narrow-minded, short-sighted, self-serving fools start getting special deliveries in their mailboxes. What's that? You mean you didn't order the bouquet of plastique and nails?"
This is repugnant. I agree with Civil_Disobedient's politics more often than not, but this is beyond the pale.

A callout of the American Taliban Metafilter post
Secret Services
Ok, so (in reply to his AskMeFi question) I advised Tlogmer to post his 'new political meme' to his userpage, which he did -- and now I'm alarmed by it, despite his disclaimer. Is Tlogmer's meme going to cause Matt to get a call from the Secret Service (or the DHS?)
Ladder Match, inside!
I'm calling you out jfuller! I don't know why, but it seemed like the thing to do. Dare you disgrace the name of the lovely Miss Elisabeth?! You! Me! Ladder Match, inside!
"Your Asian-fetish weirdness flat out gives me the creeps": volatile & personal
Maybe it's me, but "Your Asian-fetish weirdness flat out gives me the creeps" seems like an awfully volatile & personal way to kick off a thread.
anti-religious remarks belong on your own blog
It's all well and good for skallas to post his opinions on his own weblog, but couldn't he keep any anti-religious remarks out of his FPPs?
Jokes in AskMe are no good
Can we please make it stop? It's bad enough that we really want a 100+ post thread about same sex marriage every day. Do we have to drag it into AskMe?
Iraq/suicide post callout
Fact: This is an awful post.
Pink Tank Snafu
What's the appropriate response when someone loses their cool for no apparent reason? You guessed it, Postroad loses his grip in a post about a pink tank. I know the dude's got a history of derailing, trolling etc, which this community moderately tolerates. But this was a post about painting a tank freakin' pink. When is it time to say STFU?
A link to an AP correction is not a good post.
A link to an AP correction is not a good post. A kill is mandatory.
French-fried cars callout
Getting quite fed-up of Postroad's racism. I take it it's not an acceptable form of speech to characterise a whole nation as violent as it's most anti-social elements?
Rambling op-ed + dubious science + completely unrelated links + grinding axe
Rambling op-ed + dubious science + completely unrelated links + grinding axe = bad post.
This post -- an askme? Discuss.
This question about the posited decline and fall of aliens in film might be worth addressing here...
Askme comment callout
BlueStone, what an unfriendly (to put it mildly) response! So tell me, do you ever go to the doctor or take prescription drugs? Seems like you ought to be the captain of your own ship and just let your body strengthen its own defenses instead of using such a crutch.
This logic argues for the deletion of this thread.
Stop HateBushFilter
Can we stop with the HateBushFilter posts that are a blight on the the front page daily?

Format problems
Troutfishing's post about Miami seems to have some formatting problems.
a completely worthless link that is nothing but anti-women bullshit
So SpaceCadet says that he wants to talk about marriage, then posts a completely worthless link that is nothing but anti-women bullshit. It features, among other things, defense of abusive husbands, the categorization of raped women as "unmarriageable," and the general claim about "how inferior they are to men in every way. Would this sort of thing be tolerated even as well as this has if this were about any other group?
Use of MetaTalk is getting out of hand.
The post below by five fresh fish is a joke. Use of MetaTalk is getting out of hand.
Miguel, answer the damn question already, please!
Single-link op ed?
Why is this on the front page? For those too lazy to click, "this" is a post that consists of a link to the latest Thomas Friedman column, and a statement that's basically "I agree with what Tom said." One link. No questions.
I went and reread "what makes a good post" and, I noticed, there's nothing about this scenario. If you want to post something with next to no content, that's Newsfilter, and that doesn't seem to be asking any questions to the community, and that only has one link--go ahead. I think there should be some kind of guideline, since this happens at least 2 times a day (or at least, that's my made up statistic and I'm sticking to it). I mean, this seems way more content-less than the fried chicken thread from yesterday.

Too Much Meta-Criticism?
Hmmm. I think one or two levels (depending on how you think about it, that's how it is when dealing with meta-levels, see Princess Bride.) of metalevelness is enough. Critizing a stupid Metafilter FPP should be done in one MetaTalk post, not in an another FPP and Two Stupid MetaTalk posts.
Posts with no context at all.
this is racist, offensive, incredibly stupid
Ok, I'll be the first to say that this is racist, offensive, incredibly stupid, and I'm blown away that Miguel was the one to post it, especially considering what his reaction would be if the word "Jew" were substituted for "Arab". I don't think this post belongs on MeFi.
Quick and lazy newsfilter posts.
Are conspiracy posts appropriate?
Are baseless conspiracy theories appropriate MetaFilter threads?
Don't you just hate being called a liar?
Doesn't do what it says on the tin
Blog reviews 6 hits songs from the 50s; FPP claims every #1 song for the past 50+ years. Quite a jump, eh?
Not just a double, a double invoking the N-bomb is the subject of a deletion request.
Delete this post Matt. Not only is it a repeat of a topic, the N-bomb is used. Totally unacceptable, even if you are a rapper. It still has the same connotation as hate. Still way too soon since the Civil War.
This is not a good post
A bad post to MetaFilter is something that meets the following criteria: there is nothing interesting about the content on the page, and I'm only posting it to let you know how uninteresting it is.
Can we criticize?
It's great that Matt is just one of the guys when it comes to posting but, with respect, this post of his seems way below average. It's a short news item, from a big media source, which will already be known to those who follow the news. The post, though, is not the point. My question is "To what extent are we allowed - or able - to criticize his posts as if he were just another user?" Is it ungracious, ungrateful or downright rude, for instance? Fwiw, my opinion is that special treatment and undue deference are just as annoying and even insulting.
Self-linker on Metafilter
The guidelines say: Self-linking also appropriates the use of MetaFilter as your guestbook...
So why is this still here?

Callouts are fine, but leave the personal info offsite, please.
Posting the phone and fax number of an organization for protest seems fair game. Posting the home address of that organization's director, not so much.
User reports links he posted causing derail
The links I posted in the 9/11 thread seem to have inspired an arguement which is derailing the thread. [More inside.]
Enough with the flash spam.
We needed another gratuitous product pitch? As the worthless Legs McNeil once said: please kill me.
Unwarranted escalation.
Either my skin isn't thick and warty enough, or this place is merely for those into intellectual masturbation. I thought this comment was uncalled for in response to mine.
I don't feel like getting into the sandbox, and I haven't been tolaw judgement school. Next time I guess I'll just keep it to myself. /end vent

Double post.
Although this thread was used before (and the bad spelling!), it had a little more relevance to the accompanying links. Double post? Yes. Included more than the previous post? Yes. Someone forgot to spell check? Yes.
MeFi callout for anti-semitism
Hmm..... It does fit in with riptide's posting history which consists of mostly short, useless, and sometimes offensive comments.
Callout/Etiquette: please have the courtesy to put email in profile
Proposed : That if you're going to incessantly troll threads and insult people's intelligence, all in an infuriatingly supercilious and unctuous tone that seems intended to inflame, you should at least have the courtesy to provide an email address on your profile, disposable or otherwise.
She left? But she's in the kitchen just now!
You don't need to toot your own horn to make you feel better about your wife leaving you. Seriously?
My friend's EBay auction is probably not a good subject for a post.

quasi-anonymous nastygram specially for you
while for obvious reasons omidius' initial retort did not bother me too much, I'd say the subsequent quasi-anonymous nastygram received by email was rather too much. while I can't take back my relaxed response, he's certainly not going to get any candy. no candy for you!!
Called out on the callout of the callout
Most of you probably don't care about this thread, but I got called out on my callout, and... [more inside]
No Iraq amputee trolling please.
Come on do we need this type of trolling here? (more inside)
Too much self-moderation?
Even giving the poster's intentions the benefit of the doubt, there's a whole lot of self-moderating going on in this thread.
User Callout
Dear 111, I wanted to email this to you but you listed no email address. I thought you were rude in the "brights" thread and wanted to let you know. Your position was unhelpful, off-topic, and served to intentionally deflect attention from the topic at hand.

Comment goes beyond the pale of acceptable comments
"On the other hand, this girl just might wake up with a sore pussy the next day and not even worry about it..." Delmoi's post is offensive, disgusting, insulting, demeaning to women, really creepy, and IMHO, is simply beyond the pale of acceptable comments. I know you should be able to say what you want, but the thread just keeps getting worse and worse. And it's not just Delmoi who's being sickening. Shouldn't this thread be deleted? What's the policy on really offensive stuff?
