If you act only in support of a view, and do not voice your concerns,
I hardly think it's unfair to draw a conclusion to your opinions from
your actions. It then comes across as odd and insincere to later say
"actually, I disagreed with what I was doing." You can't claim your
views are being misrepresented when it's your actions doing the
representing.

What stopped you from voicing your qualms?
