I think most people, with a little education, are reasonable when it comes to ads. I know I was. Most of my computers didn't block ads or scripts. You can try to be nice but the ad makers have escalated things to the point that you have to respond. It's like content creators these days are so upset about ad-blocking that they feel they have to lash out with ads at the people that don't block. I went to some random Linux Q&A forum and had to force-quit my browser because the ads brought the browser to a standstill; all tabs were frozen. I consider ads that crash or force me to close my browser as an act of violence. Nobody in their right mind wants to subject themselves to that, regardless of their opinion of ad-blocking.
