No you are wrong, EVERY browser DOES have a Flash OFF switch that works
100% of the time. It is called the back button. This same feature
works with other annoying things you might find on a website. If you
don't like it leave. If enough people do that, then the page owner
will get the hint. Let the free market, not ignorance or intimidation,
determine the success or failure of Flash.

This is a personal opinion. And much like anecdotal data, it is
meaningless in an argument.
