Absolutely not, you should be making your site accessible to everyone regardless of which browser/os they use and if you can't make it work, make sure it degrades gracefully. Messages saying anything like that are entirely what web standards are against. Get FireBug? "Get <censored>... Don't you dare tell me what browser to use." would be my answer and you'd lose a customer. It may be okay for blogs and personal sites but many of us do real business websites and there are still people with old browsers that have money to spend or need access to information (be it Government or any other information). If we take your example above, why not tell everyone not using IE 6 on Windows to go away and get the dominant browser/os? The question was a perfectly legitimate one.
