I think dubbing ad-blockers as stealing is, clearly, idiotic. But I think it's a fair assertion that your depriving the displaying site of revenue for their content. If everyone used ad blockers would big news agencies offer free services like they currently do? But then adverts can be a big annoyance. Both sides have a clear point here. The problem is that the ad blockers hold all the cards - if sites put up a paywall for ad blockers they lose custom. If they circumvent the blockers they just draw fire. If they denounce the blockers they get berated. Lets at least be a bit ethical: ad blockers are cool. But if you like a site and it's contents and your a regular visitor consider unblocking their ads :) this is what I do and I dont begrudge them it (I will still block some of the more "in your face" ads on a case by case basis)
