MeTa post: Not About Tim Russert
There's just no way you can take a reasonable amount of time to craft a well-rounded obit post about a major celebrity, and not miss the boat.

You could do what the newspapers and networks do: make them in advance for every famous person, so it's ready just in case.

MeTa post: Why the gender discrepancy?
I didn't think either of those (or for that matter the fictional-team-names Q) were chatfilter because all of the questions were clearly trying to build a discrete list, and asking for help populating it.

They were not "what do you all think" or "tell me about your experiences" questions, even if some answerers could not resist anecdote instead of answer. Not the questioners fault!

MeTa post: He should have known he would get responces like this from wacked-out liberals.
Of course it's a troll. But great fun anyway.

...that thread stands as a shining beacon to people that like to get their lulz/hate on...

Damn, I misread that as "shining bacon" and it was soooo much better that way.

As someone who completely missed the entire Armen Asl / eBay saga the first TWO times around (how could I be such a bad MeFi servant?), I really appreciated the window-in that fourcheesemac just supplied.

In fact, thanks to this AskMe (last night's) I just spent an hour of my life re-reading the old but new-to-me Armen MeFi drama from two years ago. If this latest AskMe had been flagged and killed too quickly last night, I'd have missed out on so much... [more]

Foreign last name resembles an english insult.

For my part, completely apart from insults.... I've been thinking about how Three Stooges-like an internet conversation could be with a person named ASL.

This is what happens when we don't have a professional white background.

Are you being sarcastic?

I'll make it more obvious next time. :)

Good.

MeTa post: Persecution complex, much?
Wow. It's weird how you can take MeFi's high civility level for granted until you're reminded how godawful and inane a forum can be.

If there were no five dollar fee, would it always be like that? :/

Posting the name did seem like bad form, even though it's in the profile. As the guy himself so inelegantly responded, the handle and date joined would have made the point better, without getting all SomethingAwful in the middle.

MeTa post: What's up with the "type these words" login?
"Clutch" implies timely. Clutch is wild + timeliness.
