This is a massive stretch - anyone who hates adverts enough to risk crashing a car shouldn't be driving one. They're annoying - but this is childish behaviour.

Honest question: were you expecting this backlash - I would assume you wouldn't have used a throwaway account otherwise.

I don't view it as backlash. It's interesting and necessary conversation. I want to hear what the HN community thinks.
