Do I agree with the woman saying she needed to leave and take her poster down? No, that would be undemocratic. But do I agree that the woman shouldn't be allowed to criticise her for turning up to a protest she's not in support of? No, because that would also be undemocratic. So you end up with a pointless stalemate that goes nowhere.
Those who were protesting yesterday have every right to and people calling them 'undemocratic' have no sense of irony whatsoever, but as much as the other woman is allowed to turn up and proclaim her dislike of the cause, she has to expect criticism since she's a small minority who has appeared at an organised protest for a cause she doesn't believe in...it's pretty stupid, no? She knew what she was getting into, so there's nothing to see here.
