This argument is absurd. You dismiss the opinions of those who bother to > speak up, simply because very few bother or care to speak up.

My opinion is more that engaging with the community is good, and helpful, because even crowd-sourcing suggestions or opinions from a small chunk can be helpful. But we most not forget that there are a large number of people we are *not* managing to engage, because as soon as we forget that, the fire goes out of our desire and need to keep looking for better ways to keep people involved in what the Foundation does and what the community decides to do.
