I think it is time to let all that go.
There was a protest against anonymous judging at 2003 Worlds, organized by a group of fans going by the name SkateFAIR.
Much of the attention to this group was diluted by the announcement of the World Skating Federation -- a group of officials trying to start a figure skating-only federation to replace the ISU's governance of figure skating, which ultimately did not succeed.
So it's hard to say how much attention the protest would have attracted on its own.
