The ad-blocker page message is deeply offensive to me

[PathWalker]

Every time I come to the forum today, I am being presented with a page asking me to un-block my ad-blocker.

 

Like lots of folks, I'm not very techy, but use things like ad-blocker to try and stay safer online.

 

The page gives me options either to unblock, or to pres the button which states something like

"I don't care to support small businesses"

 

I find that deeply offensive here.

I am a lifetime subscriber to this forum - I have paid my dues to come here. And I am being made to feel awful, just because I'm trying to stay safe.

 

Please re-word that page, it has nothing to do with caring or support that I keep ad-blocker on at all times.

The adblocker was just updated. It is ONLY for showing ads that fellow readers purchase, that is all. It is very kind to unblock our site so that small readers have a chance to have their ads be seen. (there is currently nobody advertising right now, just a tiny ad showing that they can.) The ads are very unobtrusive.

Google ads are ONLY shown to guests currently.

I can reword it, that is fine.

I also want to add that we take safety seriously here, and there is no harm done by removing your adblocker.
