We have an opportunity here, nothing more nothing less. In spite of the past, even with the future still uncertain. What we do with the opportunity is totally up to us. We can cry and moan, we can rail and wail, we can simply leave without a word, we can fight for something better, or we can put our nose to the grindstone and do our level best and see what comes of it.

Any of those are within our right and ability to do.

No worries with me as far as being critical goes. Do it. Not everything here has to be the way it is because there's no other way. There are many things that can and should be improved. We just need to find the way to improve them. Maybe some things are outside our capabilities. That doesn't mean we can't have a say, so I concur with what you said. We can say what we need to say without censorship or being ignored.

We just might not be seen by anything but bots. :) Yeah, I know. I had to slip that in.
