If I were Matt I would have deleted the post, but by the time he saw it it was probably too late.
Too late? No such thing as too late. It's his site, and Matt Haughey calls the shots.
If it were me I would yank it and not even apologise.
Also, I'd replace all yanked posts with a big yellow smiley face. But that's me.

Thanks Stavros for the props.
Nice to know one person here thinks I'm really an OK guy.
Of course I'd be remiss in pointing out your site's inherent coolness.
The funny thing is, my site barely qualifies for the nomination. If I'd yanked the dates from the bottom of my Daily BWG posts, they'd say it's not a blog. I no longer consider it a blog, though most do.
I don't care if I win or not, but if... [more]

to clarify:
rory is right: i used the member numbers on purpose because i am so tired of the lecturing by those who don't happen to like a link—not just my links—any links. it had nothing to do with me "being better" as it was put.
and yeah, sure i read pjz's site. but so what? people read zeldman and kottke and link to them all the time, and no one says a thing about it. for God's sake, it was a just a link to a... [more]

I'll venture to guess the link was weak because it was a veiled self-post. bwg had some hand in the site, thought it was worth publicizing, so he did it.

i wouldn't be surprised to see it yanked. it wouldn't be the first time.
i only posted it because there's a lot in the film to talk about. yes, i KNOW the link has been posted twice before, but you can't really discuss a film that hasn't been released. now that it's out, i felt a lot of folks would perhaps like to compare notes based on what they grew up with.
as for the snide remark about my spoilers comment, there are a few things that can be... [more]

If you don't want to put in the effort, then don't waste my time, or the site's resources.
pretty goddamned arrogant, considering that there are a lot of people who are genuinely excited about the film, and also that mefi wasn't created solely for your gratification.
