@YEZ congratulations! Was it Hod's answer again?

@MonicaCellio I don't know! I was so excited I just clicked reject, and I can't figure out how to go back to it!

@YEZ I just looked -- no, we now have a different post attracting spam edits, yay. Different style from the other, so probably a different source. You can see your own reviews in the "activity" tab on your profile, and you can see all recent reviews by going to the reviews page, clicking on "recent reviews" for the particular queue (suggested edits in this case), and then clicking on "history".

You and BabySeal rejected the same edit (edits take two reviews, unless one is the author or a moderator).

I see that now.

he has a more humorous reason for rejecting than me.

@YEZ he does, but choosing the "spam" option provides useful feedback SE, so I encourage y'all to use that when it applies.

Thank you for that adding to your answer. I agree with your conclusion. I will stop doing halacha now, and make up with my father. I will take him out for shrimps at his favorite restaurant in Tel Aviv. Thank you! — Yakov 10 mins ago

Thank you for your comment too. Mister Shalom already convince me to make up with my father and stop doing the halacha. This is a very nice group, thank you everybody! — Yakov 6 mins ago

troll?

I think the question is (perhaps) a valid one, but this guy seems like a troll to me

@Daniel I second your evaluation, and now, with the two sincere attempts to answer his purported question and his obviously ridiculous and ridiculing response in the comments, makes the whole post very misleading for future readers, and I think deleting the whole post would be the wisest course rather than try to salvage a 'potentially useful' question/ answer, as is often favored here.

@Daniel In any case, you have the option of deleting your answer if you wish to disassociate yourself with this apparently false and misleading question.

@GeminiMan I think deleting the post might be a bit heavy-handed

I don't know if deleting the comments is a potentially acceptable thing or not in this instance

@msh210 @MonicaCellio @SethJ ?

@Daniel Sigh. I don't see that the question's deletionworthy.

Q: Link only answers

There are several examples of link only answers which are as we know deprecated and not very useful for this site. Usually someone comments on the answer requesting a summary of the link, or similar request, but many times this request is not fulfilled by the OP (for whatever reason) and months o...

@msh210 FTR, I agree - I wrote my earlier comment a bit hastily, in response to the OP's ridiculous comments.

@Daniel I agree with @msh210 that the post isn't delete-worthy (though I can imagine an edit might improve it -- do we need the "he thinks they're parasites" bit or is it enough to say he has a bad opinion?), and that the comments are (were) delete-worthy.

@MonicaCellio "He thinks they're parasites" is a common enough sentiment, expressed in those terms, that I think it serves more to identify the mindset than to insult the religious folk.

@msh210 fair enough.

4:05 PM

@msh210 I don't either. My question was about deleting the trolling comments

@Daniel I know. I was agreeing with you. The sigh was at the asker, not you.

@msh210 How are things Stateside?

@Daniel I don't know. I've never met all these people you speak of. And neither, I suspect, have you. They only exist in words we hear. It is folly to say you know what is happening to other people. Only they know, if they exist. They have their own Universes of their eyes and ears.

@msh210 fair enough :)

@Daniel (That was a quotation, by the way.)
