ok, curious to know from where does this rule come from?
I thought users take the decision independently and then based on those decisions consensus is formed, never knew the consensus was formed first and then users need to support the consensus.
Are we now making everything up as we go, POW/ consensus system/ what next?
Carlton has explained this more or less, so I need not give much input there. If anyone is trying to redefine consensus, then it is the BTU fanatics. They take 1 quote from the whitepaper, and claim 51% hashrate = Bitcoin. This is because they have a very tiny minority of users supporting them.

This is the future:
