Do Not Want

So Cory Doctorow is, predictably, spontaneously orgasming over the recent HD-DVD key kerfluffle. I finally decided that it's time to go get my RSS feeds all set up properly so that I can finally filter out all of his drivel. Strangely, the first hit when I google "filter boingboing author" is this post, where Cory says:
We publish the stuff we care about and you're welcome to read as much or as little of it as you want. Bored of goatse? Hate anagram subway maps? Not interested in ukes or yetis? That's cool -- just skip it.
How creepy that he manages to isolate the very thing that drove me away from BoingBoing the last time with a case of the howling fantods. I don't know what it is, but every single one of that dude's asinine obsessions just drives me fucking crazy. Weird that he obviously realizes it.

I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life, etc., etc., he just annoys the crap out of me on the Internet. But then again, most people annoy the crap out of me on the Internet.
