I expressed myself on the blockchain here: https://steemit.com/steem/@pfunk/the-case-for-the-temporary-soft-fork

It's a similar post to this one actually, although it tells the story of the soft fork from the perspective of the witnesses.  I should have tried reaching out to you with this link instead of the comment in the top of this thread in the first place, but my frustration with people who were in support of the hostile takeover or blaming the witnesses for it had boiled over.
