Thanks for explaining, Josh. I had hoped that was the rationale. Curiously, I saw those ads on your site today as well, though I'm many hundreds of miles from California, hanging out in Boulder, CO. When I saw the ad, I had an initial gut reaction along the lines of a strong interest in why you hadn't taken the ad down. I did, though, come around to the same thought I'd had the last time I saw an ad for a stance with which I disagreed; it does set a terrible precedent to start turning away these ads on basis of content, so long as the content is, in fact, appropriate.
On the other hand, if you all are paid on a pay-per-click basis, it might make business sense for y'all to take it down on that basis instead. :-)
