Some of you amazes me because they think that this is hurting adwords advertisers when you can simply opt-out of showing your ads on this or that site.

Unfortunately, you don't get it. The onus is not on the advertisers, it's on you. The advertisers are the important ones here, not you. It's a lot easier for Google to kick you out than deal with even one advertiser who is unhappy when he finds out his ads are running on a site such as yours. Let alone multiple advertisers.

The emails you received are automated. Obviously nobody's updated them for a while - did you really expect, on the scale that Google operates - to get anything else? They don't have the infrastructure; in fact they have LESS support now than they ever have (rumors of possible changes notwithstanding, none of it has changed)

You took a shot, had a good run for a while, and it's over. Time to move on.
