Adblocking is a reasonable defense against the constant and expanding abuse (of both people and the commons) that the ad industry brought on us.
For the record, I don't engage in ad blocking as such. I block scripts, which has the side effect of blocking much of the more abusive ads. However, reasonable ads aren't blocked at all -- it's just that there aren't many reasonable ads on the internet.
