By all that is both sacred and profane do not click the link without an ad blocker enabled!

    The link wouldn’t let me read it with an adblocker enabled. A window took up the screen telling me to disable it.

    Which is why I went to an archive site and read it there.

    Use a Javascript blocker, as well.

    I have uBlock Origin and NoScript, together they disabled the ads and the demand to turn off your blocker.

    This is a good thing, though. Anyone so antagonistic to readers needs to be avoided.
