Have I been... "meta...filtered?"

Rumor has it that I have been "metafiltered." Fortunately, being quite familiar with the filter of meta, this is flattering to me, rather than ambiguously threatening.

I cannot confirm or deny these rumors, however, because when I go to Metafilter, I get a big fat Cannot Be Displayed. Surely, this is because the rush to comment on my exclusive video clip of a windshield wiper has brought the Mefi server to its knees. If that is true, which it most certainly is not, then: I'm sowwy*, Matt Haughey! Or perhaps my own computer is, of its own volition, blocking Metafilter for only me, to ensure that I do not pollute it further, and to better the general state of the "blogosphere."

*(I spelled it this way because then, in my head, it rhymed a bit.)
