Neuroprosthesis News was a promising site, but now I will never read it because the author makes such an ass of himself on MeFi, blatantly self-linking and staring a flame-war that will eventually cause him to be banned from MeFi. When will people realize that trolling will never get their point across, and will in fact, limit the amount others will listen and tolerate. Goodbye neu, please leave MeFi until you can maturely engage in rational discourse.UPDATE - 21:45 20020922
It has come to my attention that there might not be any connection between the author of Neuroprosthesis and there person who appeared on MetaFilter. Unfortunately whoever was neu, their account has now been deactivated, and the MeFi world can get back to its business. andrew makes a good point about self-policing and how the mob affect can form, and things could get ugly.

It seems that things are getting ugly on Neuroprosthesis News and on Metatalk. I know that the person in question has visited my site, and others who have commented on the fracas. I only hope that neu can get some perspective: it is just a stupid website. We are not calling into account your credibility, intelligence or passion in your field. I suspect you are a good person that has just let things get out of hand. Many of the links and thoughts in your blog are interesting and informative; please stop this foolery before any more harm is done to your credibility. Those on the Internet are forgiving, but to a point. This is not a threat; I am not high on the blog/internet celebrity ladder [or on it at all] I am just someone on the sideline watching what could get ugly. Resolution really is the best thing.
