What other kind of democracy is there? If there's a binary decision to be made (i.e. increase the block chain or not) anything other than majority rules fails to resolve the issue.

I suppose what I meant is this, when someone is quoted as saying something is "not a democracy" most people read it (or at least what I first read it as was) as meaning it is an autocracy, whereas the point that theymos (referred to as the person that @octskyward was talking about in my parent post) was making is that anyone can do something if they want, even if it goes against the majority.
