It's probably a revelation to you but you do not have to poll
the entire community to find out if the majority of them don't
like something.  This is called "sampling"  The people who
have posted are a sample of the community.  The vast majority
of this sample don't like it.  Thus the majority of the community
doesen't like it.  (those who hold opinions one way or another,
that is, and the opinion holders are the only ones that matter
in this particular issue)
