Flood filter causing more problems than fixing

The flood filter added recently is getting highly annoying. I thought the whole point of plurk was to have a conversation. Sometimes you cannot say everything in just 140 characters, or even triple that, if you're trying to convey a concise thought that doesn't confuse everyone.

I think it needs a rework, if not a complete and total removal. It's blocking legitimate users more than anything else.
There are already several plurks in complaint with this:
