We don't care anymore.

Who is "we" here? Am I talking to the official spokesperson for all non-enterprise web devs? Last time I checked Facebook, Google, CNN, NYTimes, and Twitter all worked with IE.

When webpages that people actually care about break in IE then I'll believe you. Until then, I think people will go where the money is. Now maybe you won't support IE. That's your choice, but I suspect you're not the director for webdev at Facebook.

In fact, if you let me know what your sites are, I can add them to my blacklist to avoid us both the trouble of your sites showing up in my Google search since they may take down my browser at any point in the future.

No. Is there a reason why you would ask such a ridiculous question?

> Last time I checked Facebook, Google, CNN, NYTimes, and Twitter all worked with IE.

Again, that doesn't affect my point which is: that the compatibility restrictions are arbitrary, unnecessary and completely unworthy of sympathy from the community.

> let me know what your sites are, I can add them to my blacklist

How nice of you.
