Implying that particular groups of developers aim to suppress particular technical opinions, without naming the developers or giving any supporting evidence, is definitely trolling. I think we'd all appreciate it if you stopped doing it. You're clearly capable of stating intelligent opinions, and it's really not necessary for you to add veiled (or unveiled) accusations and other unproductive content to your posts. This post would have been much improved if the second sentence were deleted, and your follow-up post could have done without language such as "artificial", "hasty", "appears to have no basis in reality" when speaking about a developer's actions. It's not helpful.
I agree with most of what you say. However, it doesn't help that one's (valuable) technical opinions are sometimes dismissed as "trolling" based solely on the person emitting them, and not based on the merits of the opinion (especially when the person is making efforts to be productive).
Just saying the world's not black and white :)
