Because it'd hopefully run their bandwith down?*

And then they upgrade their account, start putting ads up, and then the next time you visit, you are making them money! Bad idea. Just ignore them.

So when you upgrade an web account, do you require a regular number of viewers (and hence advertisers) to keep the site running without loss?

I think I see where you're going with this.

You're thinking a sudden drop in the number of hits would cause cessation of profitability, and thus will cause the site to fold. Sadly, with advertiser's backing, the site is more likely to attract further outrage, and thus hits. Whole new generations of people, desperately cuddling their "this site is terrible" signs as they click will inadvertantly bring about the continuation of said site.

As a further consideration, why attempt to attack these people? You don't share their views? Neither do I. But I don't think that gives me the right to force them off the interwebz.

Personally, I think that only people with my exact beliefs and opinions should be allowed on the internet.

The only person I ever found with my exact beliefs was a small yorkshire terrier who died of tuberculosis. Though I guess that doesnt count as a person and I gave it tuberculosis before it could prove its thesis.

Nah, I've given up now. I have bigger things on my plate at the moment, like year 12. I'm all in for the pony/unicorn/zebra ice cream cake, though.

That's just stupid. Who ever heard of ice cream shaped like a zebra?

Sadly, Twobuy is right.

It's never been done before.

Time to improve the universe?

zebras are for pussies. I demand a pony!

How about a sunburnt zebra?

I'm going to vote for the horse with the phallus on its forehead.

So if a unicorn gores you, you're literally and figuratively fucked?
