For what it's worth, ABP's slogan is "Surf the web without annoying ads" and they've gone to court to defend that. (I stick to ABP for this reason, and disable the "display acceptable ads" option -- assuming that's what your rant is about?)
Slogans don't mean anything. It's now an extortion tool. Their definition of "acceptable" is already bad (tracking of any kind is unacceptable) and subject to change on a whim. Maybe your "option" won't work one day. Why not just use a tool without a huge conflict of interest? EFF will continue to fight against legal threats against ad blocking. ABP needs to defend it because they want to continue extorting large companies.
