Until the advertisements are cleaned up and are not annoying, I will use AdBlock. I do not feel the slightest bit guilty. I understand the need to generate revenue to support a site. Annoying ads and pop-ups are not the way to do it. If your business model is not working... change it or watch your business fail.
I guess we should just find a "Politically Correct" bat and just club all of the IT people into submission. I read the 4 page rant and just about pissed my pants I was laughing so hard. If you want IT people to treat you better how about getting a clue!!! When you are told not to do something.... DON'T DO IT!! When you fail to follow simple instructions, bad things happen. If you do not like being treated like a child, stop acting like on.

Anyone can create a poll and skew the results. Duh!
The judiciary is just as corrupt as the law makers.
Yeah... one could compare this to a Mafia Don sending out his lackies to pick up the protection money from the local stores.
