I tried to highlight something that is a part of the criticism that the Hugos are separate from the majority of SFF fans....

I'm sorry, but you don't have the right to speak for "a majority of SFF fans" any more than I do. Nobody can speak for "a majority of SFF fans." Nor is there any award of any sort, nor will there ever be, that is selected by "a majority of SFF fans." The field is too large. There are too many fans. There's no one single group, and you can't reach everyone, or even a majority. So don't try appealing to "the silent majority."
