I whitelist sites I actually use
And others, as and when I feel like it

Browsing with Javascript turned off is like refusing to install the .net framework on Windows. Yes, technically it still "works", but when you try to use a particular application that relies on it don't act like it's anything but your own fault, or that the author has a duty to make it work for your special snowflake configuration.
I whitelist sites I actually use
So do I. By not turning it off in the first place

You mean I can't browse using Lynx?

As long as they don't expect anything to work I'm totally ok with people who disable JS. If you complain about things being broken, or make threads about how silly things look after you broke them, you're not even worth mocking.

Of course you can my special little snowflake.

The author should at least make it fail in a semi-sane way instead of spewing WTF everywhere as soon as JS goes away, if they don't implement proper progressive enhancement that is.
