Gunnvor, while I think the rest of your post is well-written and
well-reasoned, I think this one statement does not serve you well. You
are putting words in the mouths of others, or at least ascribing
thoughts to them. It may indeed be true, but it may also be that some
people do not like controversy, or seeing people argue (or even
discuss vigorously!). Or simply that they dislike getting the firehose
effect on the list. Or any other reason!

Pointing a finger this bluntly will not persuade anyone to change their mind.
