well, i think boo.com and etoys.com are perfect examples of how 
alienating users can hurt the bottom line... that 10% was critical to 
them...

look at fuckedcompany.com, and see how many of them relied on 
just that thin of a margin to make their business model work (or 
fail)...

look at the ones who survive, they seem to either not piss off 10% 
of their users, or have a larger buffer...
