Hovercraft Eel call-out thread.

Hovercraft Eel call-out thread. Normally I would do research and link to specific posts, but I would say that since 95% of Hovercraft Eel's posts are about how terrible MetaFilter is, no sifting is necessary. Hovercraft Eel is a remorseless threadshitter whose crimes are exacerbated by the fact that his threadshitting is also boring as hell. Hovercraft Eel, I find you guilty of being a terrible, unfunny poster. Your punishment: a life sentence of being you.

It was the best of MeFi. It was the worst of MeFi.

If you were showing the MetaFilter Universe (including the main page, Ask, Talk, Projects, Music, everything) to someone for the first time, what threads would you choose as examples of MeFi at its best and at its worst?

MeFi Hall of Shame: Since there has been great *read WHY THE HELL ARE THEY THERE??* threads, why don't we look back at the absoulute worst threads (Self links, troll attemps, etc)? Maybe we can learn from these.

What is the single worst FPP you have seen since you began reading Metafilter?

Inspired by this recent FPP and, of course, its accompanying MeTa thread, I have this question: What is the single worst FPP you have seen since you began reading Metafilter?

Discussion of airlines charging fat people more is the worst thread ever.

Hatred, intolerance, name calling, scatology. This is easily one of the worst Metafilter threads I've ever seen.
