My Response:
To Whom It May Concern,
My site is a perfect fit for your "technology" but after great consideration I've decided to not associate myself with a group of politically correct, uptight prigs.
I understand that your advertisers may have a problem with my content but it's their problem not mine.
My site has developed a small yet strong following of consumers whom I'm sure would be more than interested in purchasing the products sold through your ads. At least they would have.
Because of the attitude of you (and I shall assume your advertisers) that's not going to happen.
I've yet to hear of a company that wouldn't allow me to buy their products because of my penchant for dropping of the occasional and well-timed F-bomb.
