Superficiality and Remote Insincerity - What's Wrong with my Sibling?

Post 227502 by watercarrier deleted for the following reason: Sorry your sister's driving you up the wall, but this seems to be a whole lot of "my sister is terrible" with only a nominal question attached. If you want to try and rework this as some sort of concrete request for help on something more specific with less venting, maybe try again next week. -- cortex

Mormon history?

Post 227410 by mmf deleted for the following reason: This is a badly timed complaint about Mormonism posing as a question. If you have a real question here that can't be answered by Googling, please feel free to ask again next week. -- jessamyn

French Teen Amateur Porn

Post 227318 by lrnarabic deleted for the following reason: I think you need to ask this again next week with a tamer above-the-fold question and no links to amateur porn sites. It's attracting a ton of flags and needs to be phrased differently to be okay here on MetaFilter. -- jessamyn

The Begat

Post 227069 by Enchanting Grasshopper deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this doesn't seem like a concrete problem as much as a rant or a challenge. If you have an actual question that people might be able to help you with, perhaps you can reword/reframe to more accurately reflect that? -- taz

systemic abuse

Post 226827 by xcasex deleted for the following reason: Heya, I appreciate that you were aiming for brevity but this really needs a rewrite that makes it a lot clearer what your specific context and goal is if folks are going to be able to help you with a concrete situation. -- cortex

YOUR PRE-CHEWED FOOD DOES NOT INTEREST ME - I AM NOT FERENGI

Post 226789 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: maybe try re-asking without the personal distaste angle? As it stands it reads like a rant and less like a question in search of an answer. -- mathowie

suicidal ideation & hospitalization

Post 226679 by lisakitty deleted for the following reason: I'm afraid Ask Metafilter is not able to give accurate information on a question like this, which could actually do more harm than good. Please contact us for more information. -- taz

Time off for no reason

Arguments against reincarnation

Post 225888 by Asian_Hunnie deleted for the following reason: This is such a huge topic and so inherently unanswerable at a concrete level that a question that's taking the "convince me of this metaphysical premise" approach is really basically chatfilter and not workable for askme. If you want to rework this as a far more focused request for specific philosophical/metaphysical resources or something next week, that might work. -- cortex

Post 225737 by Che boludo! deleted for the following reason: This needs to be dramatically rephrased to be a question that AskMe can help you with. -- jessamyn
