monkey king
Maybe when someone hands you your arse on a plate you should just walk home with it in contemplative silence, rather than alert a whole new audience to the circumstances of your debasement.

MeFi Follow-Up: Joe Horn is Cleared of All Charges
Jury of dunderheads allow fellow dunderhead who shares same ridiculous views to walk in order to protect laughably outdated and misinterpreted idea regarding weapon with no legitimate domestic use and which any developed country should have outlawed many moons ago and the right of dunderhead's to wave about and discharge said weapon. "You're dead BOOM" said Arial Bold caption. Film at 11.

Kenya hack it?
Use of the word "hack" is up there with "Legos" around here in annoyance terms. It's spelt Lagos FFS.

Where did that link go?
A small icon on the users profile page showing a pair of emo specs and a razor blade should do the trick.

It's a shame a derail can get a good post on cervixen deleted.
It is the responsibility of the person browsing the internet at their workplace, not the rest of the entire fucking internet who all have to try and crouch and keep quiet so that Joe Blow in human resources doesn't get the sack for looking at pictures of "coupious, watery, eggwhite texture" cervical fluid. This NSWF crap has gone on way too long.

Planet F - yours is definitely on the way!
I received from grangousier and Brodieshadetree yesterday, both beautifully designed! I've not had a chance to listen to Brodie's (tonight hopefully) but grangousier yours was highly enjoyable, I am definitely feeling that theme. Got most of the tracks (knew a few, google for the others) so it's just the foreign ones I need!
As for the letter, yes it's real. I buy and sell books for a living and often... [more]

Best MeFi conversations?
Go back about 3 years and there is a lot of good stuff. It didn't always used to be everyone piling in with one liners.

USA Only
I don't really feel its an issue. If someone in Britain posted links that I, an American, could not view I wouldn't leap off on a rant and pout about the fairness of everything.
Plenty would, and do. In fact I could point to several FPP's featuring rants by Americans failing to grasp the worth of Euro or UK-centric content of a post and in some instances calling for its deletion because they...probably don't know what it is. Mainly because they... [more]

Yeah, I got my answer, but fuck you.
I know what you mean, which is why I make a point of thanking people who take the time to respond to my questions.
Even more frustrating is when the OP returns to post and tell you how great your answer is, without actually marking it best answer. Gimme that fucking tick goddamit.

Sans quoi?
Pony request - to save having to accidentally see any of this crap, from now on, when an AskMe question exceeds 2000 words can some sort of icon appear on the front page next to the username, maybe a small razor blade or tiny animated pair of emo specs with a tear drop falling from them?

etymology questions OK?
Only self-appointed experts should be allowed to answer questions on any given subject. Proletarian chit-chat helps no one and should be crushed by the moderators forthwith.

Battle of the Flickr All-Stars
Rebekka's photographs: 'Look, I have boobies!'
Metafilter: "Look, she has boobies!"
I fail to see the problem. If she is going to post photographs of herself in a bikini then everyone is free to pile on. Or are they "art?" Because they don't look a lot like art to me.

Slapping someone in the face a bit too much ...
The question should be deleted because the guy is too busy rehearsing his next sex ad and preening his feathers to get to the bones of what he wants to know. If his frivolous prose brings out the same in the people answering the questions - tough.

Upsetting the plate of beans.
There was a link on some post or other recently to a FPP from 2004 and the quality of discussion afterwards was noticeable better. Admittedly I am very much part of the nosediving tone of the site, but so fuck.

OMGOMGOMG?
There should be a drop down menu for the mods to supply a concrete reason for deletion - the people providing the content for Metafilter deserve to know why their posts are deleted, and it can only improve the site if there are some concrete (and referenceable) deletion guidelines in place, next to the posts.
These snarky deletion reasons have irritated the hell out of me for a long time because they are not in the slightest bit amusing and look totally glib when placed... [more]

languagehat, I find them consistently irritating and I've never had something deleted, my last FPP was years ago. If you find omgomgomgomgomg "good snark" then I'm glad for you. I find it cringeworthy, like when a stagediver gets on stage at a concert, security fail to react in time, and they manage to say something into the microphone before being kicked into the crowd. "Big moment" syndrome.

This is a momentus step forward.
Matt really is waking up (albeit incredibly slowly) to the fact that vBulletin-style functionality is the future!
Next - emoticons. :)

Highlighting the stories and interviewing participants (both asker and best-answerer?) of some of the remarkable AskMe questions would be awesome.
