Go back and read the article. Hunt is not complaining about users blocking ads, he is complaining that a specific adblocker is blocking his ad even though it is unobtrusive and he sent in a specific form to allow the ad.

With respect: go back and read the comment thread.
- we agree that he's complaining about a specific list
- we agree that the ad is unobtrusive
- we agree that he sent in a form
However:
1. it's an ad 2. "unobtrusive" is relative, and clearly people are annoyed with his ad
In what world is blaming EasyList the right move? They're doing what it is they're meant to do (and that for which people donate to the service): blocking annoyances on the web.
