That's as may be. I won't use your (that's the generic, "you" here) site if you insist (by blocking me from accessing the site with an ad blocker enabled) on making me watch ads.
But I won't complain about it either. It is, after all, your site and not mine. As such, you can do as you like with it -- and good on you for making your own decisions about your own property!
That said, my browser belongs to me, and I will make my own decisions about what displays in my browser and/or runs on my hardware.
tl;dr: I control my stuff and you control your stuff. If we can come to an agreement, that's great! If not, that's fine too!
