Actually what I thought I was doing was objecting to the word "tyranny" to describe the relation between the governed and the governing, in all instances.

It wasn't used to describe the relation between the governed and the governing in all instances. To the extent the term was applied generally it was only as something that could potentially happen, which is why I took your objection to mean that it could not potentially happen in such small responsive jurisdictions.
