@Jesse: You, sir (and I use that word very loosely) are the actual idiot. You rely on insults and attacks, thus betraying your self-loathing for all of us to see by transferring it to someone who appears to have an opposing viewpoint. Anon in #14 offers a further erosion of your original comment. However, as you would rather behave as a low-life troglodyte, I have nothing more to say to you. Flame in hell, troll.
@DanC: Lovely misquoting going there, but I caught your attempted slight of hand. For anyone reading this, I refer again to comment #14, where a helpful Anon has written:
Publishers "deserve" to get paid when they provide a service the consumer wants, and that evidently doesn't include invasive and annoying ads.
Jesse: Yes, there are ads on Techdirt. But, in case you haven't noticed, Mike doesn't bitch about people blocking them, nor are they stupidly obtrusive like the ones that start playing loud audio, or cover up the content of a page, or throw pop-ups or pop-unders at you.
Read the article, over again, and this time PAY F--KING ATTENTION. ABP and EasyList exist because there are too many of those obtrusive, stupid ads that annoy the crap out of all of us. The ads here on Techdirt, at least since I've started reading it, are the good content type that don't get in the way and piss people off.
Next time, before your bitch about someone's supposed hypocrisy, you might want to actually understand what they're talking about.
