Shit, do you block Mustache/Handlebars too because it's using your resources to render a template? That's quite a reductive argument - you get to the point where you don't turn the computer on because it's using your electricity.

You know, quite a lot of us do use NoScript, so that reduction to absurd is not really that effective. As for using electricity, that's why stan_rogers added the caveat of "do things the server ought to be doing at its own end".
