Yes, a whole world whose web sites look great but can't be used by a lot
of people.

This isn't a war, and it's baffling why you're framing it as one. The
proportion of Web users who can use you web site ought to be a major
consideration. Each web site provider will balance that consideration
against other considerations. It isn't a matter of either-or, and it
isn't a matter of one way winning. Now do you understand the point?

Why do you care whether other people have their Javascript *on*? Mind
your business about how other people use their own computers.

I didn't make the world, that's just the way it is. Learn to adapt, or
suffer in bitterness about how people aren't doing things the way you
want them to. If you can't grasp this, I can do no more to help you.

Yucky,
Yukka.

I'm not suffering in bitterness. I'm just not using certain websites.
Whether that's of concern to you is your business. Regardless of your
personal ranking of considerations like breadth of audience, it's still
a consideration that people should be aware of, and it's ridiculous for
you to claim that it shouldn't be anyone's consideration at all.

You really are incapable of thinking of this in any terms other than
adversarial ones, aren't you?
