The thread about that Tropicana ad post that got deleted. Somebody's gonna MeTa this one, might as well be me. I don't actually have any objection to the reason for deletion, but I am curious how it's made in situations like this. The FPP was straightforward enough, presented in a mostly unbiased way, without editorializing. It was an interesting topic. Not Tropicana Blue, either. If Bartonius hadn't posted a link to the Facebook page in his Twitter account (which was republished automatically on his MeFi profile), there wouldn't have been an issue. I'm left with the impression that it wasn't a matter of a bad FPP, but simply that its poster didn't cover his tracks very well to hide the fact that he has an opinion on the matter. Should every Mefite who posts an FPP take measures to avoid saying anything else about the topic anywhere on the internet?
