I respect your desire to not be tracked via referer headers, and to turn them off/use SSL/use extensions. You are a person, and your privacy is important to you.

I also respect a site owner's desire to track your referer, and to decide the rules for who gets to access their content. They are (often) a business, and knowing where to focus their efforts to make money is important to them.

I don't respect either side feeling they are owed tracking information, or content, if they aren't willing to respect the other agent's rules and preferences.
