I'm following a similar philosophy as the parent (kill fixed elements, disable CSS in extreme cases), and your web page manages to look stylish and readble at the same time.
The fixed side bar on the "visiting" page is barely enough to fit on the display, and when I shrink the window (or increase the text enough), bottom items get cut off without recourse.
The banners on most pages are so big that I usually see only 1 line of an article, which is mildly annoying.
Note: disabling JS is a required part of making the web readable for me, and that's how I perfomed the review.
