Obviously the solution is to ban all ad blocking plugins. Users just can't be trusted to install software alone.

Where did you get that from? I pointed out that running multiple of the same type of blocker (in this case, publicly-available filter lists and ignoring the fact that uBO has a superset of features) can cause them to conflict and provide no security benefit. They asked how they can conflict and I told them how. I don't care whether they run 2 blockers or 20 blockers of that type on their machine. But that doesn't change the fact that it is literally no benefit to do so and multiple downsides, both real and theoretical.
And the only real reason I chimed in in the first place is to let everyone else know, as I figured those on a more technically inclined website and that a Palemoon user in particular could handle such information. But, alas, apparently one among us could not handle it.

I'm guessing he was refering back to the attitude of Mozilla and Chrome, not you. I had a laugh on that account and I'm not giving it back if I'm wrong.
