New Project To End Stupidity Online

mrneutron2003 writes to tell us that StupidFilter, a new Open Source project started by Gabriel Ortiz and Paul Starr, plans to provide an intellectual prophylactic for memetically transmitted diseases. "Too long have we suffered in silence under the tyranny of idiocy. In the beginning, the internet was a place where one could communicate intelligently with similarly erudite people. Then, Eternal September hit and we were lost in the noise. The advent of user-driven web content has compounded the matter yet further, straining our tolerance to the breaking point. It's time to fight back."

Months?
Ha! Years it's been. I'm convinced it was because I was shot down in metamod.
Read my journal (all entries) for the rest of the story.

The funny thing is that now that I don't care what my karma is (and have actively been trying to burn it for over 2 years) I get modded up all the time.
