By the same token, simply saying "our fathers and grandfathers died so that we could live free" does not mean we have to sit still and be quiet.

They also fought for our right to stand up and be heard.

Quite frankly I and others feel that our trust is being abused. Could you imagine the media sh**storm that would develop if Activision released Battlefield 3 in a cripplingly unfinished state with glaring bugs, and then refused to provide the community with information about development progress/status?

It'd be insane. The only reason 1c/Maddox can get away with it is that this community is small and the media largely does not care about flight sims.

There's a lot of whining/flaming going on here that is unwarranted. But there's also a lot of frustration/uncertainty that is completely, 100% justified, and to stand up and basically say "Sit down and shut up, because you didn't fight in WW2" is (IMHO) in poor taste.
