Fillipe, when you announce a fork, your first responsibility (and the expectation of the readers) is that you will provide justification for the necessity of said fork. The justification you appear to provide is that Non is not "of the community" and is full of "ads" and "spyware."
I can think of no other way to interpret that announcement, even with your claim to innocence.
