>>So half a percent of the userbase or so? I'd call that a vocal minority.

By that logic, the people who protested during the Civil Rights movement were also a vocal minority. Doesn't make their grievances any less valid.

They were a vocal minority. So's the KKK.

This is why I'm contesting the idea that "a grassroots campaign" is evidence that someone was in the wrong. It's merely evidence that some people had an opinion about the situation.
