I've noticed that a lot of people only skim the question, and then don't read any of the previous responses, so that might be why.

You have to admit it's better than those loathesome "Should I break up with my girlfriend because blahblahblahblahblahblah" questions that are showing up with increasing frequency.

Maybe an interesting post would be one trying to use misogyny as a justification for Hillary's single-minded bloodthirst for power. But you didn't do that, you made a profoundly shitty post. Such is life.

But there are now two kids without parents because of this whole mess.

So we're supposed to "think of the children" and not make jokes?

The jokes were bad and uncreative, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Reiser won't be crying himself to sleep because of what some guy on MetaFilter said.

I disagree - this is a great idea. Seeing the things that people hyperventilate about on the internet is hilarious.

It is pretty funny watching all the people who work in advertising crawl out of the woodwork to indignantly defend their meaningful contributions to society. For that alone I hope Mr. Hicks is referenced in all future threads.

It's probably not very well-advised riticize others for their livelihoods, cmonkey.

I came to terms long ago with the ultimately meaningless tasks I spend my day doing. But that doesn't make it any less funny to watch advertisers try to justify their profession.

How long do the solar powered abortobots run on a single charge? I've got a lot of aborting coming up, and oil is so expensive the cost-per-fetus is through the roof with my petroleum powered model.

Both of them appeal to, what, perhaps twenty people tops? Out of a population of 60 000 MeFi users? Asinine.

How is this post any different from someone posting an attempt at getting a meetup going in a less populated area, an area where there are only very few MetaFilter users?

Mormons would also appreciate it if I didn't smoke, drink, say what I would like to say on public streets in Salt Lake City, or discuss their temple ceremonies. Should we bow to their delicate sensibilities in all cases or just when it comes to public leaders dying?

Dear Sir,

I hasten to inform you of recent developments regarding your correspondence on the date of the 27th of January, in our year of the lord two thousand eight. With regards to your query upon the matter of ectomorphic word diasporas in the varied states of anonymity and nonanonymity, my colleagues and I at the Royal Institute of Analysis and Presumptions have come to the conclusion that the verbosity ratio is 5:1 in favour of anonymity.

But when it comes down to it, aren't we all SEO marketing scum deep down inside? Perhaps rather than casting the stones of judgement and tossing the broken body of disgrace down the well of hypocrisy, we should embrace our inner spammer, the inner spammer that unites us all and reminds us of what it truly means to be human.

Also, last night I dreamed that I was boiling an egg and I overboiled it and it burst and kidney bean came out of the yolk. Freaky.

According to scientists, this means that you want to have a mustache like a motorcycle cop.

That would be a pretty big job, and I kinda doubt that Matt would be able to get enough subscribers to cover the cost of hardware/bandwidth/a sysadmin's salary/etc with all the free services out there.

What trust issues with established providers are you referring to?

As an internet doctor, I encourage you all to disregard these cautious, dull lawyers and listen to my medical advice when you ask about your STD, or the blood coming out of your ears, or whether or not taking expired prescription medicines will totally rock.

I find Ron Paul related posts helpful and informative, because when someone outs themselves as being a Ron Paul supporter, I can conveniently add them to my mental list of people to never take seriously ever again.

I'm a big fan of publicly shaming idiots, but it seems wrong to have a racism/sexism flag without a homophobia flag, given that being a homophobic asshole on the internet is even more acceptable than being a misogynistic asshole on the internet.
posted to MetaTalk by cmonkey at 9:00 AM on November 24, 2007

Flag it as offensive and trust your moderators to see the reason.

I sort of agree, geekyguy. However, if racism and sexism is going to be singled out, either to make MetaFilter a more welcoming place, or simply as a data gathering tool, homophobia should be included. I've seen some notably nasty comments about gay or transgendered people on here (particularly the latter), and it's just not right to ignore that if we're getting all specific with the flags.

I'd probably be a little wary about going to a meetup in someone's house if I didn't already know them because they might turn out to be one of those weird fuckers who puts plastic on their couches and insist that everyone use a coaster.

I don't consider it my thread. It belongs to everyone who joined in there and kept it alive for 30 days.

All but one of the links in your self-congratulatory MetaTalk post about a post that you made lead to comments you posted. If this really wasn't just an excuse to stroke yourself, why not link to good posts that other people made?
