A Campaign to Block Firefox Users?

rarwes writes "A website is aiming at blocking Firefox users. This because a fraction of the Firefox users installed an Ad Blocker and are therefor 'stealing money' from website owners that use ads. They recommend using IE, Opera or IE tab. From the site: 'Demographics have shown that not only are FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet, they actually are even smaller in terms of online spending, therefore blocking FireFox seems to have only minimal financial drawbacks, whereas ending resource theft has tremendous financial rewards for honest, hard-working website owners and developers.' Be interesting to see where they are getting their numbers from.

Heh.. I've had this happen too. I had 10 flamebaits, it was clear what was going on. Someone looked at my posting history, because the FB started at one comment and went down the list, crossing two or three different articles. Don't care, I suspect this was fixed in meta modding, and I still have my +1 bonus.

I'm one of those guys who has nothing good to do with mod points. I've got five of 'em right now, just staring at me, begging for use.

For a good laugh, check out my posting history for the last two days, rather entertaining, I am not saying they are wrong to mod me OT but odd that I have so many noticing my posts, I am becoming something of a tragic hero here for someone :)
