How long do you want to ignore this user?
Greetings, fellow Bear Insiders. For what it's worth, I just sent the following message to customer support. (If anyone has a better idea about where to send it, please let me know.)

Re. My adblocker:

The reason I use an adblocker on the bearinsider.com is because I object to ads that promote such things as gun holsters and pseudo-pornographic female images. Surely a University of California sports board can do better than this; would you accept ads glorifying white supremacy? I hope not. And you want me to register for a premium subscription in hopes of avoiding this junk? No way.

I have written this to you before and received no response. Now I'll turn off my adblocker one last time, so I can post something about a Cal WBB grad receiving an honor. I'll also put my complaint about advertising to the Cal WBB forum.

Yours truly,

BearBint and BearBloke

I support your position about content and taste.

I joined The Far Side site for daily throwback cartoons. Cookies. Crazy gun ads, which followed me to other sites.

These small sites have no control over advertising. Biddness.

Interwebs are poison.

A sarcastic term for the internet. Often used in the context of parody regarding an inexperience, unskilled, or incoherent user. Hay guys, I'm using teh interweb!!!
