OK, I don't disagree with you but I will refer you to the stuff I was replying to -

"For starters this should only ever be a polite request, not a forced rejection of any tracking scripts. I have a right to track how people use my site."

"People get way too offended by analytics tracking when it's there for their benefit."

And the followup by the same OP -

"I'm going to keep an eye on you as I see fit whilst you are in my shop. Surely you can see that as fair?

You are an agent entering my property. This is what your computer does when you access my site."

It seems clear to me that they feel entitled to have their scripts run on my computer. I have no issue with them checking their logs to see what I requested and when. Scripts, cookies, 0px images, each of these are mine to block as I see fit because I own the client, not them.
