disproportionate response For some reason these are making me giggle way more than they should. (MeTa link)

Yeah, that was a great way to start my work day! The whole thing is absolute comedy gold - all the funnier because the participants are so serious about it all.

Laughing at other people is fun.

Oh, um, that's right, we're not supposed to encourage linking to MeFi, are we? Consider yourself mildly rebuked, small_ruminant.

From the Wiki:

Posts about or links to Metafilter are usually fine unless:
You want to bring some drama to our attention.
You want to us to laugh at someone you think is an idiot.
You feel you've been on the receiving end of some injustice either from Matt or Jess or another user.
"Wouldn't it be cool if we all went to Mefi and did X?" No. No it wouldn't.

So s_r's post should be fine, yes?

Depends on how one defines 'drama'.

I've seen internet drama, and that is not internet drama.

Well, there we go then.

You want to us to laugh at someone you think is an idiot.
I think it doesn't quite cross the line - mostly because it's not laughing at a particular idiot, but at the conversation itself.

Now cut the analysing and get on with the pointing and laughing.
