You're absolutely right on that one - the majority of editors opposing that particular idea were newer and less involved in the internal workings of Wikipedia - the supporters were almost exclusively long term, highly proliferate editors with extensive experience in the internal politics of Wikipedia. It would be more accurate to say that *opposition* to BADSITES was the populist movement. Incidentally, why does that acronym still redirect to WP:NPA?
