[Plugin: Auto-tags] Don? How do I have it stop making up “Don” tag?

Is there a way to delete irrelevant tags? I’ve been deleting them, but just noticed today that when I update the post (save it) they all come back.

If I’m posting about chile peppers, I don’t want the word chile tagged alone, for example. It gets messy. Too many tags.

Or would you recommend a different tagging plugin?

Hmm, pretty old thread, but you might like to know that the latest version of the auto-tags plugin has an option to remove certain words from the tags you get.
