I personally don=E2=80=99t like the term 51% attack as applied to censorship=
. A miner is free to mine or not mine any transactions it wants (censor). Th=
e term attack is better reserved for stealing from someone (reclaiming spend=
s using hash power), as it implies a moral distinction.
But 51% attack is the term in common use for a majority censor and using it h=
elps people understand the mechanism of hash power soft fork enforcement. It=
=E2=80=99s not intended as a pejorative.=20
However =E2=80=9Cwithout social support=E2=80=9D is a political term. It con=
fuses the actual behavior to imply the mechanism is somehow not the same bec=
ause there is some ill-defined level of agreement.
