So, your viewpoint boils down to either I allow my content to be viewed solely on your terms or I go out of business.

Sounds like the type of negotiation the mob engages in. But, hey, as long as you get what you want, I guess it is ok.

Which ad blockers provide for that header being sent? I've never seen it before and I can't find any information on it. Did you just make it up?

So, if it is ok for you to view content while denying the content producers the ability to monetize that content, then would you also agree it is ok to take content from behind a paywall and display it for free on your site?

If not, what is it specifically that makes the first ok but not the other?

Really? What header does your browser send to my server informing me that you are blocking ads so that I know to deny you my content?

"Have you stopped enabling sexism in tech?". That's what most of the replies sound like to me. Sort of like "have you stopped beating your wife?". Hard to come up with a good response without looking guilty isn't it?

Your facts are incorrect. In 2010, there were 31,672 gun fatalities in the U.S. Of those, 11,078 were homicides.

Does that include the right to keep and bear arms?

If they have 1st Amendment rights, do they also have 2nd Amendment rights?
