Obviously everyone that uses a PROP Pool service knows the risks,

obviously not...
A *LOT* of new miners see "Proportional" and think its a fair payout system (which it would be if it wasn't exploitable), not everyone does the research to see that it is in fact a flawed system that will cost them in the long run. As miners study and realise they move to fairer payout schemes....

Calling names isn't really beneficial to anyone.
Shame more people don't do their research before leaping in, most new pools start as prop, most new miners start as prop... often on the "biggest" pool.

It's a good thing I did my reserach before joining a new pool.I have a good experience with my current pool (ozcoin). PPS and ozcoins model is better for me that any prop pool used to give me so I'm very happy with getting more for my efforts. I feel sorry for those who got scammed by a bad pool operator.
