He likes education, thinks he's innocent, so what?
I would also support the deletion of this as I disapprove of Metafilter participating in the HOLY FUCKING SHIT A PRETTY NON-POOR WHITE WOMAN IS MISSING/DEAD trope.

Please start posting about poor missing/dead minority women. We all crave your approval.

Is AskMe allowed? Cause my best post ever was actually an anonymous question.
It happens.

Fingers in the great anonymous dyke?
Ummmm, I'll admit - I've actually done that.
I validated my actions in that I needed to find a way to help explain (or defend) 'anonymous's' decisions or course of action based upon the input provided.
That's the slippery slope of anonymous AskMe questions. Sometimes you need to keep providing the input without worrying about an intermediary.
My surreptitious actions didn't derail the thread. If anything it helped me... [more]

I'm not saying it's right, but most anonymous questions come with a degree of anxiety, or embarrassment, or desperation.
If the 'real' poster feels the need to comment on their own anonymous thread, they probably have a damn good reason - unless they're just doing it to totally fuck with everyone's mind.
In my case, I was desperately seeking help - and AskMe came through with flying (green) colors.
Judge not lest ye be judged.

Also... any ambitious MeFite can now probably take a look at my posts and figure out which thread I'm talking about. But I won't apologize for my actions. For what it's worth, it's not whatever post is in question here. I'm probably outing myself.

looking at my post now in my OWN anonymous thread, I'd say I helped to try to defend my actions... along with a little bit of self-aggrandizing that certainly wasn't necessary - but I was trying to make sure no one knew I wasn't 'anonymous'.
See? That's the slippery slope I'm talking about.

That said, answering in thread will probably work, since most people read their answers pretty carefully, I think.

remember to breathe
The admins are celebrities! They gave up their privacy a long time ago, and are subject to gossip and public examination.
I don't disagree with Cortex's admin decisions, but I'll meekly raise my hand and agree that his admin 'style' is much more 'cowboy' than jessamyn's or mathowie's.
I ain't saying there's anything wrong with it, but there is a noticeable difference that some people may take offense to. The general impression I always come... [more]

Proposal for new MetaFilter guidelines
The best way to improve the site is to delete the accounts of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of all users. No refunds! We can do this with a banning-lottery.
For example, we could delete the account of all members whose name's start with the letter m. No, NO WAIT! NOOOOOOOOO! *&*(^$%##((#@^*((.

Quit 'yer whining. Next thing you know someone will bitch about how her posting had a compounding effect on the carbon footprint created by metafilter by adding to the energy required to light up the pixels on their screens.

I think my point may be is that there's no point in reading an obviosly drunken post from MR lynster. The lynster I've seen on here would never be such a dick. So go suck on some thick skin. Better yet, its not an issue of being thick skinned when someone uses teh gay card... Its just offensive.

I'm overwhelmed
Oh yes, I MUST. READ. EVERYTHING. :) Maybe it's just watching that google reader counter tick up and up that gets under my skin - otherwise I'd not have a really good gauge of how many I haven't read.
Looks like at this point my only option is to use the 'ol scroll wheel faster...
Burhanistan - I haven't forgotten about the in-flight servers research... it's still on my list! At the moment I'm swamped doing a tower supervisory study about runway incursions for the FAA.

I configure my middle mouse click to be "next item" inside my RSS reader, so that I can just click quickly without having to point at anything in particular, and I can easily scan 100 posts/questions for the things that interest me in a couple minutes.
Witness all the side blogs that people have started to cut down the volume of "required reading" (check metametafilter, mefi redux, etc).... [more]

Because only "Dude, that's f*cked up" will do.
Sometimes the 'entitlement generation' needs a tough talking to... the real world is not all "But my mom says I'm special" or "but I want it".
Sometimes people ask questions that can't be adequately answered without imparting some social norms.
Calling them a douchebag certainly doesn't answer the question, but it does help the OP to learn that his actions are inappropriate as a cultural norm.

Of course someone could open up a site called JudgeMe, then one could read "You're a twat" all day long.
Ok, that actually made me laugh! And good point, bugbread.

Is it ok for me to say here that I would like to recommend to the OP that he conceal the gun up his ass? That would be my recommendation, but I'm sure it would get deleted in the Green.
I don't really mean it - as I don't have any real problem w/ people with CWP's... but it would just be really FUN to say!

How do we know which Wendell is posting this stuff? Are we talking to the 'old' Wendell or the 'new' one? Has the transaction already taken place and Bizarro Wendell is just testing the waters around here?
