It would be helpful if you thought before posting your
misguided 'thoughts'.
Mozilla and Netscape JavaScript Bugs Compromise Privacy and
Security:

Javascript: the lurking privacy menace in your browser:

Pay special attention to this paragraph:

The default/out of the box settings for my firewalls and
privacy software blocks JavaScript and Java applets, unless
I explicitly specify an exemption rule for any site. That is
the case for all of my machines, DoRkBreath. I trust the
software companies and various online journals that I read a
damn sight more than I trust you.
I think I'll give up on you, fat boi. You are a truly stupid
troll, and you 'talk' too much, bitch.

Mine is my freedom
you take I'll defy
laugh 'til I'm tired
sing 'til I'm dry
'cos life is a moment
you pass with a sigh
never comes back sure
as yesterday's bye....
