Two comments: First, I’m not worried about sane sites (well, not as much :-) ). If all we had to worry about were sane sites we wouldn’t need popup blockers, URL filters, malware blockers, noscript, etc. Second, did you mention to your users some of the negative possibilities? If not, I’d suggest that they weren’t upset/offended/horrified simply because they didn’t think of the downsides.
