You can't have it both ways, GE.

You have shouted down many other peoples perfectly reasonable questions in the past because they did not fit with your personal agenda or your own fantasy-land vision of how this company is being run. If any single individual is responsible for the lack of plain and open discussion on this forum, it is yours truly.

You cannot come in now with the  "why can we ask questions'" sob-story baloney at this stage in the game - you have made your bed, you had better lie in it.
