And it's exactly for that reason that calling it a strike bothers me. Using the term to bring to mind the connotations of a strike when you're not, in fact, striking just seems wrong to me. LJ users are not workers with no other recourse fighting against unfair treatment by their employers--something I regard as a somewhat serious matter. They're consumers protesting a business decision. A relatively minor one.
Basically, it's cheapening the term, I think, and that bothers me. Don't call what you're doing something it's not because it sounds more dramatic.
