Cause I sure haven't seen any sites redirecting to his whyisfirefox... site. The comments about Germans wasn't really smart either, but we already knew he was a goof ball.

This is sad. You know, why even try to block ABP users? I mean most people are reasonable, and if they see a site worthy of having adsense ads shown, or whatnot, they will have it unblocked on that site, such as I support everything Chris Pirillo does, so I choose to unblock ads on his site and his stream. But lets say a giant corporation is running a site, trying to shove ads right into your face, because they are greedy moneybags wanting to make a quick buck, then I believe I truly deserve to have the freedom to block ads on such a site. Oh wow. This is sad.

There's no other word: "As a German, I imagine Palant simply doesn't understand the America concept of taking risks to stand up for your rights. That would be why the German people so placidly allowed Hitler to turn their nation into his own personal toilet, and we Americans had to rescue the world from their mess. We're used to being the ones to take the burden of standing up against thugs, even in defense of cretins who themselves defend those thugs, so I intend to stay true to that good ole American resolve of standing for what's right." The guy is insane. The new text on his website (http://www.whyfirefoxisblocked.com/) is incredibly stupid ! There’s no other word:

So what? I don't want to see sites that have advertisement on them, so I have to options: view the site without ads, or not view the site at all. If one of the options is removed, I'll have to go with the other. It's not like there aren't thousands of other sites I can visit instead of his. I'm usually honoured when people visit my sites ;) It's just as with software: when they don't want to support my OS, I don't use their software. Well, it’s his choice not letting me see his site.
