You considered a majority vote only PART of the judgement. But did not consider that most would take issue with the outcome. And people took issue with it. Hence the fall out. Because when so many people vote one way and the governing body goes another, you're going to raise some ire. Add to that the admission of you making a mistake of adding the poll (clearly).
I am being critical of your methods, it was a big decision to make. And not an easy one at all. And I'm not making it any easier for you as are many others. I would push the same observations in my RL community as well.
I think it is fair the people question and debate the decision making process, even add some criticism and assumptions. It's how greater understanding comes about. And maybe some learning on your end as well.
Dictatorships, Democracies or any other means where few people make rules and guidlelines on a group of people should always be questioned and prodded.

You realize you are advocating for no consultation of the membership and increased power to the vocal minority.
If the thread is just deleted one day without consultation people would complain
If the thread was deleted with just the thread but no poll people would blame the vocal minority.
Instead a poll is done to try to see what the silent group would like.
Then they get slammed for making the decision. The fallout of this decision will just lead to less consultation of the membership. This is unfortunate as the way this decision was made should be the model for changing policies on this type of community.
All this for a thread which no one can state the benefit of.
