Now if they had picked individuals in FRC at random, with a very high response rate, I might be more inclined to give weight to the results. Otherwise the survey is suffering from a tremendous response bias (how many people that don't have a strong opinion on a subject are going to volunteer their time to do a survey?)

This is my opinion towards this as well, and I think it's interesting that so many people are drawing the conclusions they want from the survey results.
The response rate to the survey was only 10%. I'm one of those neutrals in the remaining 90% that didn't respond.
