You do not need to close them all out. If your entire page is filled, you can always refresh to make them disappear. Another option is I may decrease the number of previous notifications that popup if you've been away or a lot are queued up.
That said, there are no plans to allow disabling of these notifications. It seems counter-intuitive to have a forum that encourages people to interact with each other, yet promote features that are counter-productive towards that.
This is a new feature, people aren't used to it. As usual, in a week, everyone will be used to it (granted, only a handful of people out of the thousands using the site are having any gripes with it).
I for one find them very frustrating
