How important is diversity?

Post 136208 by roomthreeseventeen deleted for the following reason: This is mostly a super short report in the Washington Times, and a short personal opinion piece from someone on About.com, which makes this seem like discussion prompt more than informative / interesting links. Maybe find a little more info and repost? -- taz

Sorry That My Friendship Is A Crappy Consolation Prize

Post 136192 by rcraniac deleted for the following reason: This is a cute presentation, but it's a concept that's been talked to death here and elsewhere and this doesn't really add anything. -- restless_nomad

She's back!

Post 136179 by math deleted for the following reason: hmm, this is kind of a person with a track record of trolling the media pretty successfully and not much more than a thread to share how much we hate that. -- mathowie

Looking at an old GE ad. What kind of a job do I think that will get me?

"It's a tough job."

Post 136155 by paleyellowwithorange deleted for the following reason: This is a random imgur AMA of unknown provenance? Is there any particular reason this should be a Mefi post, with a sort of LET'S-ALL-FIGHT pull quote? Maybe there's another way to post this if it's something important. -- taz

“Women don’t usually think in terms of efficiency and effectiveness”

Post 136137 by divabat deleted for the following reason: Shitty she had to deal with that, but "poorly socialized dudes are frustrating boors at meetup" feels kind of thin for a post. -- cortex

Post 136130 by thisisdrew deleted for the following reason: Seems like a worthwhile project, but we've got a pretty firm "no fundraisers as posts" rule at this point on the front page. -- cortex

Post 136115 by paleyellowwithorange deleted for the following reason: Better to wait until the series is complete and post it then. Right now this is just one review. -- LobsterMitten

"No one will fail to support my right to exist unmolested"

Post 136101 by MartinWisse deleted for the following reason: Glad con policies are improving, glad the specific harassment got dealt with here, not really feeling like someone's thrice-linked name-and-shame LJ writeup is really all that good of a basis for a Metafilter post. -- cortex

Short hair is a political statement

Post 136090 by kyrademon deleted for the following reason: Maybe don't link to horrible shit just to say "people are horrible" and then link to Jezebel talking about the horribleness? If there is a thing to discuss here make a post without the internet outrage, please? -- jessamyn

Ranting to vent and Introspection

Post 136080 by perspicaturous deleted for the following reason: Sorry, Metafilter isn't the place for posting your own writings. A post is mainly a link to something interesting elsewhere on the web. Check out the FAQ for a better understanding of how the site works. -- LobsterMitten

Listening and Talking to Dolphins

Post 135958 by IgorCarron deleted for the following reason: Hey, good video links on the communication work, but the editorial-voice beginning is a problem (is this supposed to be about the Taiji Dolphin drive hunt? If so it needs less OP commentary and more links on that). If the video links are the main point of the post, go ahead and repost those tomorrow without the misdirection in the beginning. -- taz

Post 135905 by MisantropicPainforest deleted for the following reason: We just had a big thread about King somewhat along these lines, probably better just to add this there if it hasn't been already. -- cortex

Flu and Fever Reducers - increasing the risks of spreading the flu

Post 135899 by AlexiaSky deleted for the following reason: Heya, it's an interesting model but it sounds like this is more in pop-science "one speculative study = linkbait headline" vein than anything, maybe not great material for the front page. -- cortex

Krzysztof Piesiewicz, 2 hookers, some "powder," and a white dress.

Post 135892 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: Going by this the senator is a hypocrite, the media are hypocrites... and the reader ought to consider the whole thing a private affair while salivating over the juicy details. I can't see any winners here, and I guess that applies to this post as well, sorry. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Post 135888 by KokuRyu deleted for the following reason: If this is just point-and-laugh at one overenthusiastic dude, that is not so great. If there's a larger trend or something else going on here, maybe a do-over with more context? -- LobsterMitten

Post 135828 by rolandroland deleted for the following reason: Heya, not that this might not be worth a post of some sort, but this reads a lot less like a Metafilter post and more like an editorial and call to action which isn't really appropriate for the front page. -- cortex

A Lonely Quest for Facts on Genetically Modified Crops

Post 135765 by Blasdelb deleted for the following reason: Hey, this seems like a pretty general pro-GMO roundup, and we've had an awful lot of GMO discussions that have covered all the issues discussed in this article... if there's something in here we've missed talking about before, maybe make it a part of a wider post that covers the new stuff? -- taz

Post 135606 by cheerwine deleted for the following reason: Sorry; this is an awful situation but that doesn't make it a great post for MetaFilter.

Post 135468 by dng deleted for the following reason: As a single link editorial blog post on a touchy subject about something we've discussed to death -- nearly every day, really -- this isn't super great for post... maybe better as a comment link, or *possibly* part of something more extensive. -- taz
