Go to the "Why Danny Carlton is Blocked" redirect page to see the full article.
You've reached this page because you are Danny Carlton.
Danny Carlton is the infamous loony fruitcake who apparently has a problem with Ad Block Plus, the award-winning Firefox plug-in that blocks those intrusive adverts that nobody wants to see, on web sites like Danny Carlton's. This deeply essential anti-spam tool transforms Web browsing from the unbearable slog through (what has become) a cesspool of online advertising, into the Utopian haven of ad-free browsing that we can now enjoy, thus making the Interweb a safe and pleasant land, protecting Web surfers from notorious ad-revenue spammers like Danny Carlton.

I was thinking of creating a page like this myself. I read somewhere that "whyfirefoxisblocked.com" is not the work of Danny Carlton. Maybe you can find more information about that.
Thanks for the link.

The best info I have suggests that this campaign against Firefox and Ad Block Plus, is indeed the work of Danny Carlton. If anyone has any further info, please let me know.
Danny states on this page that he is not the author of the Firefox page:

"Oh, and if you are wondering what the whyfirefoxisblocked.com guy thinks about somebody stealing his thunder then it seems he is pretty pissed."

Well there you have it, Carlton is indeed the coconut behind WhyFirefoxIsBlocked, but not WhyDiggIsBlocked.
Apparently the creator of the latter intends "coming out" of the closet next week.
I'll update if and when that happens.
