You missed the point of my comment. My point was that you can't turn off an important (nay crucial) element of modern web applications simply because you don't like how some web sites go beyond enhancement into the black pit of defacement.
It has often been pointed out that technologies can be applied for good and bad. Simply ignoring them and hoping that the world will join you within your circle of wagons just will not work. You can't turn the clock back - you can (perhaps) demonstrate the benefit of a more appropriate implementation.
If the positives of JS use outweigh the negatives, congrats, you get on the whitelist. If you annoy the living shit out of me with ten jazillion share buttons, I'll exercise my right to not let you run arbitrary code written in a Turing complete language on my computer.
The world seems to have joined in with Adblock. Keep up the parade of annoying bloat and people will start doing the same with JS.

Maybe my contribution was a bit too opaque.
