OkCupid banner for adblock users

Not sure about it. I have a similar problem - my website <a href="http://www.brainleg.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.brainleg.com</a> (structural java exception search engine for java developers) is currently supported only by ads, and it is very tempting to put some message to users who use adblocker. Yet as a visitor of a website I would be turned off by an aggressive message like this. Perhaps something more polite would make more sense?

If I saw that banner, given everything that OkCupid has done for me (I am married now, after all), I would donate the $5 instantly. This is a smart response to a user that some companies would see as the enemy.
