Is it considered acceptable to either block the use of ad-blockers? For example blocking access to content until the site is white-listed? Here is an example.

Completely up to the webmaster but what usually happens (at least in testing I've seen on this subject) is viewers just go else ware.

Unless you are in a very specific niche or offering some sort of service that can not be obtained else ware users will most likely just go somewhere else.

A lot of the time if someone wants to disable your anti adblocker then can just edit the local version of the page (firebug / built in dev tool) to disable the js that is most likely being used to detect and lock content if an adblocker is found.
