Out of curiosity, I looked at who follows Grendel and what I realized is that most of the people that follow him at the moment are people who came during either the whole fat people hate banning episode or the Ellen Pao firing and a good number of those people don't really posted on Hubski anymore. They posted a couple of things their first day or two and then didn't post again. It's seems like it's basically Grendel and himself right now as he doesn't really have people who actually support him.

Also for the record, I have disagreed with Grendel many times but he has yet to block me as he replied to me yesterday.

Most of them are inactive, sure. But it's the ones who are active and thank him... they fucking thank him. Then complain they might get tarred by following him.
