No ethical high ground here. I use Adblock because I don't like ads. You don't have the high ground to tell people what to do here either.

- paulcole 9y agoI guess I didn't realize that "don't take something you know you shouldn't" was such a controversial opinion here :(
- rcoveson 9y agoThere is no HTTP method "TAKE". Check it out: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9
- paulcole 9y agoSince it feels like you missed my original post: Please don't reply with whatever mental gymnastics you use to convince yourself that you've taken the ethical high ground by using an ad blocker.
- scrollaway 9y agoSince it feels like you missed mine: you are not in a position to tell people what legal things not to do from the comfort of their own home. Make a plea if you like, try to convince anyone you want, but being obtuse and arrogant with people who don't share your views is just lame.
- vultour 9y agoOn the contrary I find this thread to be full of arrogant hypocrites chanting "burn the ad industry to the ground" while watching their daily dose of TV propaganda.
