Jumping the snark [more inside]
What the hell? Is this where the bad kids get sent?
Yeah, no.
Not ok.
Grow up.
Men do have babies. Ask any transgender man who has had one.
How much anti-trangenderism is considered tolerable? [more inside]
monkey king
You can take your own sanctimonious smugness and shove it deep and far up inside your poophole.
loquacious, maybe you should relax and not be so violent.

"Wow, look at the Boobies!"
Grow the hell up.
An open letter. [more inside]
Backstabbing is not conducive to intellectual discourse
Malor - your arguments have to stand on their own merits without bringing other people's names up. [more inside]
So a murderer walks into a bar...
The filesystem jokes in this Reiser trial thread struck me as being in particularly bad taste. [more inside]
Seriously?
Not funny.
This post on breast ironing has turned into a nightmare of inappropriate comments, jokes, and general trolling. [more inside]
Seeking clarity on mod communication
In this thread, languagehat has spouted several lies concerning myself, communications by email, and the mods' involvement therein. [more inside]
Suffer the complainers in MeTa.
Will all those who think the YFZ Ranch FPP is a "yawn" or "not the best of the web" please complain about it in this thread rather than in the blue. Thank you.
Learning to resist the dismiss
It's not OK to dismiss an entire country because you couldn't resist making a lame joke. [more inside]
Or you could just not say anything.
If you feel the need to call the OP a douchebag, attack his phrasing, or lecture him for "body image baggage," please do it in this MeTa instead of shitting in the question.
Can't tell who said what
What happened to put quotes in italics?
Raising the level?
Can we work harder at having mature and respectful discussions? Do we need to do so? [more inside]
LOLMORMONS
Come on y'all this is embarassing. I don't think anyone would appreciate getting their religion bashed this way and Mormon's LOVE that man. Believe me, I know some. Totally uncalled for.
Bickering ahoy. :(
Wow. We really aren't grown up yet, are we?
Nutjobfilter: Metafilter Ad Hominem Much? How about we delete posts that start out with grade school name calling? Just for thrills. [more inside]
LOLXtians! No - LOLScientologists!
We don't think religious satire goes down well on Mefi. Well, 'cept for the 'Tologists, that is. [more inside]
What will the Bhutto assassination mean for the future stability of Metafilter?
Yeah, assassinations are hard to be unemotional about, but can we start acting reasonable? [more inside]
Trainwreck Thread
All I am saying, is give posts a chance
At first I was kinda surprised the video in 67602 got dumped on in comments. There is nothing intrinsically bad here. It's actually rather professionally done, it feels very much like something that was produced for television. I strongly suspect the fault here is with the FPP. [more inside]
Poorly constructed or blatantly inaccurate.
I have a problem with people making posts here that are blatantly inaccurate just for the sake of making a political point. [more inside]
RTFA
ND¢'s two cents cause a shitstorm. News at 11.
ND¢, generally I really like you, but it's clear that you are being a dick for the sake of being a dick, notwithstanding your attempts at justifying that as your real and valid opinion. All you had to say was "yeah, maybe my joke was a little offside" and no one here would have busted your balls over it. Just be a decent human being with a little respect and understanding and things don't have to turn into a shitpile.
Make the Pledge
I think everyone's read the "note" about relevance and respect at the bottom of the posting window in the blue. But it seems that very few people actually take that message to heart. [more inside]
wtf quonsar
"Your world is filled with non-people."
That little drive-by rant made you sound like the biggest pompous asshole in mefi history, buddy. It really did. Ethereal Bligh, stop this. Your continual personal insults and belittling are neither appropriate nor conducive to discussion or community.
Is it just me?
Hey, I'm new to MetaTalk, so go easy on me, and I hope this hasn't been talked about before, but... [more inside]
clarifying mystery links
Occasionally links without any real description are posted to the front page. It would be nice if any user could add a short description that would appear when you moused over the link, so users don't have to click on eight different links to find out what a post is about. [more inside]
What the world need now is crap, more crap?
ok, flag it as crap we know you want to. But do we both need you flagging it as crap and then posting a crap "flagged as crap" message in the allegedly crappy thread? Comment should be flagged as masturbatory noise.
Not cool.
What? No flameout? And you paid yer 5 bucks and everything!
"You win, Metaflter", or, "How to go from very first post in the blue to self-banning in only thirteen comments!" (give or take one or two that were deleted...) "Mission accomplished!"
Is this normal, sanctioned behaviour?
MetaFilter seems rife with religious intolerance and disinformation under the guise of intelligent conversation. Is this a flaw or a feature of Metafilter?
Give it up.
I am so goddamn tired of being rickrolled in the comments. I think somebody spilled some 4chan on my metafilter.
Assholes in Aisle 12
Fucking flag it and move on. It's not about YOU.
memo
wendell sent a mass email to like 1000 users and so sorry I responded. I've also disinclined my email address.
Not Awesome
Cleanup in Aisle 62093, please.
End the Mefi-celeb love!
Could we please stop in-thread "celebrity" derails?
Hi, I'm From MetaFilter, And I'm Here To Help
I find myself fascinated by unhindered's "contributions".
Which is to say that I find them annoying as hell, pseudoscientific at best, and skirting the boundaries of acceptable behavior on MeFi.
double?
Today's edition of what irks me: Hijacking threads with unsupported claims of doubleness. Either put up or shut up--don't shit on good threads just because you read boing boing and have a bad memory.
Maybe phrontist needs Thorazine or a lobotomy?
LOL XTIANS #45,982,761,305...
I don't understand why this was posted. Most LOL XTIANS get deleted; why is this one still here?
A Mediaeval Self-Link.
Posted 1 hour ago by stbalbach.
As interesting as I might find the contents, technically this is a self-link. The main link is to something he himself uploaded to another site.
Are we a bunch of politically correct nerds?
DiscussionFilter: Is Metafilter (as a collective) horrendously biased and therefore a crappy measuring stick for 'Real Life'? [MI]
pileon someone you disagree with
In this thread (http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/58548) people are piling on jonmc simply because they do not agree with him..(MI)
hama7's getting grief for nothing.
Pissing match started tangential to gyno thread
An otherwise great post on a gynecologist rearranging his patients' genitals without their consent is turning into a pissing match. [More Inside]
