@Myself: I think he's referring to the fact that at least half of the people in the Sonic fan base, if not most of them, are people pretending to be fans in order to accomplish specific results in the fan base and, most likely, the main game series. Examples could include the removal of certain gimmicks (of course, how could anyone in their sane minds possibly love swords in a Sonic game? Or even da Werehog?) to even the removal of certain characters while also changing them to how they want the characters to be regardless of whether its stupid or not. Basically, Trolls who want to try and ruin the fanbase and series by trying to act like the majority and have SEGA cave in to their demands (which is why I personally think is the reason why we've been seeing many Sonic games lose it's variety of different gameplay styles and playable characters, because... they don't like change, it seems).

I believe this is what Caricon is referring to.
