Calling someone a rapist on the sole basis of an accusation made to a reporter is wrong -- and could be libelous. The allegation against
Girls Gone Wild producer Joe Francis is horrible and contains a lot of persuasive details, but that doesn't mean it's true.

A what-makes-a-good-post question I'd like to see other MetaFilter dinosaurs answer along with me: What are the
best and
worst links you ever inflicted on the front page?

A minor nit, but it's misleading to use a
false anchor tag in a link, because
people will wrongly assume it's legitimate. The
Christian Science Monitor did not declare neoconservatives to be their enemies.

The next time someone posts with glee about a criminal being subjected to violent penile colonization, turning the discussion immediately into a referendum on the subject of prison rape (
#1 #2), I hope that person has to spend quality pound-in-the-ass time in MetaTalk as rodii's bitch.

Take a trip with me down the Riviera (

Let it be resolved that from this point forward, all double post notifications must be handled
like you are stoned. Do I hear a second?

Of all the cheap rhetorical tactics employed here, I think my favorite is "you people are sick and this conversation is beneath me, so I'm not participating except to note this fact" (
#1,
#2,
#3,
#4).

"Can't you folks simply address an issue and tell us what you think without attacking the poster rather than what has been posted?" A
few threads have featured variations on this sentiment, so I figured the subject was worth a longer look here.
