Not at all, since I've supported donating/subscribing to Apolyton and still put up with banner ads that other sites seem to go by just fine.

You've been doing nothing but piss people off with spyware-installing ads, annoying popups, and now obtrusive inside-post ads that add hideous right margins to already-long posts, while at the same time denying people the ability to donate or subscribe to Apolyton.

Go figure that they eventually get frustrated and just ban your annoying ads.

Put an end to popups!

What part of my argument was not "corresponding to truth"?

You think it's a lie that people find the inside-post ads as obtrusive and annoying?

You think it's a lie that some people would be willing to subscribe or donate to Apolyton to get rid of ads?

You think it's a lie that some people find the new ads so obtrusive that they'll block them?

All three of those are absolutely true. If you want to have a discussion, present some (corresponding to truth) arguments. otherwise...

You're ultimately responsible for the ads on your site.

in the same sense you're ultimately responsible to either accept the site as it is with the ads that it carries or not use it.

Since that wasn't a google adword the only way I could block it was to block the rest of Poly's ads.

All table cells with "apolyton.net/amazon" are truncated to a null string...

ad blockers these days are more sophisticated than script/image blocking, Markos.

True, but it's none of my concern.

People are welcome to buy Apple if they wish, doesn't hurt me any. It's their problem, not mine.
