No, I hang around here so that I can watch folks like you and Colibri make fools of yourselves. You didn’t bother to read my post, you just wanted to jump into the pile-on, and that’s fine. That’s what you clowns do.
Go back and read my post again, this time reading for comprehension if you can. You will find that I was pointing out that their page design is so bad that the ads are obtrusive, which is why people use AdBlocker, etc. Then they have the gall to bitch at us for using a tool that they made necessary. If they designed their pages better, AdBlocker would be out of business and I wouldn’t have made the post in the first place.
But, hey, who cares if I’m right or not? Y’all just close your eyes to it and jump right in.
Because anywhere else, I’d have to pay money to see a clown show like this. It’s like a free pass to the zoo where I can watch the monkeys sling shit all over the place.
He proved you right…but so does a Pepsodent advert, the light reflecting off a dirty glass and a picture of a puppy piddling on the porch. Everything “proves you right”, doesn’t it?
The site we are reading right now gives me pop-ups and browser hijacks, while running adblock and security/virus programs with real-time protection and regular scanning. I will take the sites that ask you to turn off the adblocker any day. Usually you just click an x or “not right now” and go about your life.
You missed your true calling. If you can tell what I did from thousands of miles away, you really should be making a fortune in Vegas with that psychic talent of yours. I did actually read your OP, found it stupid, and responded with my thoughts. To be clear, I don’t do pile-ons just for the sake of pile-ons, I prefer to march to the beat of my own cranky and somewhat psychotic drummer.
No, their need to receive revenue to pay for that website is why they are bitching about visitors using adblock, a fact that should be obvious to anyone who isn’t a child and expecting everything handed to them for free on a silver platter.
Now, if you had bitched about ads that propagate malware, I’d actually be on your side here and would admit you have a point. Bitching that they are obtrusive is like bitching about ice being cold. Unobtrusive advertising that hides on the sides so you don’t have to see it is actually pretty fucking useless advertising.
That reason doesn’t make sense. That would explain things if you just lurked here, like I mostly do, with an occasional one-liner to stir the shitpot, but you participate far, far too much for that reason alone. No, I’m starting to think that Skywatcher’s point about your desire to play the victim is far more likely to be the truth, which just makes this whole thing even sadder.
Clothy’s kinda like the hunter. (NSFW,double spoilered just to be sure)
[spoiler][spoiler]A hunter spots a grizzly bear 1,000 yards away, but he can’t get any closer so he aims his rifle and pulls the trigger. He can see he’s hit the bear, so he sets off after it. When he finally catches up to the bear, the bear is clutching his shoulder and says, “Was it you who shot me?”
The hunter says, “Yes.”
The bear says, “You need to be taught a lesson.” The bear strips off the hunter’s clothes, bends him over, and has his way with him.
Several minutes later the hunter struggles to his feet, pulls himself together, and vows to find that bear. He searches through the woods, up hill and dale, and then he spots it 500 yards away, aims his rifle, pulls the trigger, and sets off after it. When he catches up to the bear, the bear says, “Did you shoot me again?”
The hunter, trembling, says, “Yes.”
The bear says, “Well, maybe this’ll teach you,” whereupon it grabs up the hunter, rips off his already tattered clothing, throws him violently to the ground, and really rips him a new one.
The hunter eventually gets to his feet, naked and dazed, and he decides he’s going after the bear one more time. He trips through dense underbrush, he trudges through soupy swamps, and he treks across vast valleys, and finally he finds the bear only a hundred yards away, across a small opening. He takes careful aim, holds his breath, and pulls the trigger.
The hunter, already exhausted, sprints up to the bear.
The bear says, “Did you shoot me AGAIN?”
The hunter says, “Yep.”
So the bear says, “You didn’t really come here to hunt, did you?” [/spoiler][/spoiler]
He not really here for the posting.
You know Clothy, I figure as long as you’ve got shit for brains, what’s wrong with piling another turd on your head? And you think we’re getting it on our hands. Sad
That is correct. And you might keep in mind that I respond with the same level of courtesy and respect that I receive. Why, you might ask? Because that is how one resists an unwarranted attack.
So all you have to believe is that an attack is unwarranted to chuck courtesy, respect, discipline, honor, integrity, self-control, perseverance and whatever else out the window?
The more you use this excuse, the easier it becomes.
If it turns out that the attack wasn’t unwarranted, you cannot retroactively
re-insert “courtesy, respect, discipline, honor, integrity, self-control, perseverance” and whatever else into your response.
What you say stays said.
What you do remains done.
How can you not know this?
You have the critical thinking skills of a gnat, you fail at actually reading and you wallow in the alt-right filth and portray it as truth.
Do your students know you’re an avowed racist? Do you keep your classes lily-white or do you take money from those you secretly hold in contempt?
You come whining about a broken window and that insurance doesn’t cover it all yet you don’t want to pay a small portion of someone else’s medical bills.
