To the contrary, this boycott will show a permanent one-day dip in their user content. It will create a record that they can't get rid of... one that shows that, if we want to, we *can* kill the site because of their refusal to listen to us. I think that's important, myself.
Only if thay choose to consider it significant, which oil companies don't seem to do when they see a one-day dip.
OTOH, it may show us that we have that power, even if it doesn't show SUP. (And demonstrating it to ourselves may in fact be worth doing.)
