That is the main problem... People are being told not to comment, if you were not in some way directly involved in the development of the Bitcoin code. {Read Mike Hearn's leaked email to Adam}
You have a right to your opinion, whether you are a developer, engineer, bitcoin owner, ......
They have all the information needed to make an informed decision... {Some are part of the proccess, and some are there to give advice, based on their previous experience and knowledge}
Their personal agendas and personal interest should not come into play here...
The "Mushroom strategy" {Keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit} should not apply here.
You ask your questions and you give your opinion, and if they differ from you, they can proof you wrong with the facts. {If you are wrong, you appologise and you ask your next question}
This is how it's supposed to work.
