That being said, the people of Tumblr and the fans of free-flowing, unconstrained media on the internet have spoken; and they are not pleased. Actually, that's the vast understatement of the day.

Take a look at our selection of their brash, occasionally comprehensive reactions to Tumblr's decision.
