Good. Please leave. I don't walk into a restaurant and demand that they cook my food without using a knife. Don't expect modern websites to bend over backwards for a (frankly rather juvenile) view of a modern web standard.
Code execution is part of the web, it's here to stay, the number of sites that support non-JS experiences will continue to dwindle.
You're not some special snowflake. Other people make real decisions based on cost/value models, and you cost way more than you're worth.
Where does the cost of making a blog readable without javascript com from? It takes a lot of extra effort to make a blog that requires javascript.
As far as I'm concerned, if it's not readable without javascript then you've got nothing intelligent to say anyway.

Great! Leave please. I have no desire to interact with folks who approach the world in that manner.
A blog post is one thing, but many web developers that venture onto this site -- myself included -- are building complex web applications that would simply not make any sense as a "read only" website.
You are more than welcome to disable JS, but the number of web developers that I've met that actually care about a non-JS user experience is next to zero.
When I go to a blog post linked from HN and see a white empty page I will just move on.
