I just hate that despite their intentions, they are more like an angry, wild mob than the rational and clear-thinking guardians of the internet. It seems that all it takes is one disgruntled villager to yell "Monster" and the entire clan grabs their pitchforks and start setting the internet ablaze! It's wrong for 1000s of WOTers to blanket sites with red flags when those very same defenders haven't even heard of the sites they are blacklisting. I don't blame their hearts being in the right place, but the system is flawed! There should be a process by which sites are proven to get what they deserve, as opposed to being at the mercy of a mindless mob lead by a village idiot.
