RE: "Anti" Pop-up blocking
I wrote them a nice note and explained that I saw their Anti-Ad Blocking message, and that was the reason I would never return to their website.

The proper way to protest is to call them up while pretending to be a computer novice and claim that their site "doesn't work". Pretend that you don't know why but give some indication of why (by telling them that you are using Mozilla and whatnot). Anyway, just continuously ***** about it and play dead and demand to speak with the manager. Then when you finally get to speak with the manager, give the manager all the technical mumbo jumbo about why you couldn't access the site and blame it on their incompetent technical staff.
