A Boredom Filter For tuscl?

Having been away for five days, I was relishing the thought of catching up on some juicy tuscl discussions. Good lord! We seem to be in the summer doldrums here at tuscl. I started reading a couple of the long threads but quickly gave up after the threads degenerated into juvenile name calling and repetition. I am not getting out to SCs much these days and enjoy reading other guys' stories but not much of that the last five days.

A boredom filter, perhaps?
