I believe gpsbabel supports this kind of operation:

gpsbabel -i gpx -f raw.gpx -x  
radius,exclude,distance=1.5M,lat=30.0,lon=-90.0 -o gpx -F filtered.gpx

should remove all points within 1 1/2 miles of the specified lat/lon  
pair from raw.gpx, saving the output in filtered.gpx. (I haven't  
tested this.)

See also http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/ 
filter_radius.html .

Would it make sense to add these kind of filters to the GPX upload  
facility to encourage more people to upload their traces? I'd also  
like some automatic time shift (to say the first of the month, at  
0:00)...

Cheers
