I hate internet ads. I hate the pop-ups, pop-under, scroll through, and boy, do I hate those damn Donald Trump "LEADING THE WAY" banner ads that follow me around the web including Absolute Write.
I happily deploy adblockers in my Firefox browser and Trump's fugly smile is banished from my line of sight. All is right in the world as the bees buzz, the hummingbird hums and the woodchuck chucks.
On the other hand...
Websites depend on the banner ads including this one. I'm super annoyed by the Trump ad, but if it helps keep the lights on, am I allowing my petty annoyances to cost the site cold hard cash?
I probably wouldn't be blocking the banners if they were Hillary "I'm With Her" ads, but maybe that's just my liberal hypocrisy kicking in...
So...am I evil?
