Democracy in and of itself is not reason enough to discount protestation of an unfavorable (or morally wrong) result. If that statement is untrue than everyone should be respecting the last Palestinian election, including the Canadian Government. Let's also not forget the results of German democracy in the early 1930's. While the scope is not the same, the principle is. Furthermore, not protesting a result because "you're hurting the wrong guy" is also problematic in that the voices that need to be heard don't get heard. A company decision, democratic or not, should not be allowed to go unchallenged by whatever legal means the "wronged" or "losing" party can or wants to muster.
Whatever democratic decisions an individual endorses has absolutely no anti-hypocritical requirement to any other; it simply comes down to what an individual feels is right or wrong. I feel the vote result with respect to the Fulcrum was wrong. I also feel that the UVic ban being overtuned was right. That doesn't make me hypocritical or democratically challenged.
