This comes up again and again, and I always say the same thing, and get ignored.

People don't care about paying this tiny fee.

People are upset / confused because it is explained so POORLY,  and that many Bitcoin boosters claim "no fees".

Set expectations properly.  Explain the fees.  People don't mind paying the fee, they just don't like "surprise" fees that they don't understand.

I actually tried to explain there were fees once.  No such thing as a free lunch, even in Bitcoin utopia.  I got some smart ass reply about being a sheep to the credit card companies.  Maybe you'll have better luck.
