Firstly, I'm not speaking for them (though I'm allowed to have an opinion). I'm just saying that this Twitter effort can't speak for them, because that's exactly what it purports to do. And I have been silent. Even when Luke Dash Jr was telling everyone that his tiny Twitter polls were evidence of widespread support for UASF, I was silent. When he was spreading deceptions that miners who didn't change to his version's consensus rules were 51% attacking the network, I was silent. In several hundred posts on this forum, I've been silent (except for very occasionally expressing the opinion that splitting the network is bad).

Unfortunately, silence from people who understand consensus forks well enough to combat the propaganda comes at a cost. Now much of the community wrongly believes that 1) soft forks are always backward compatible and 2) UASF incompatibility means a 51% attack. Neither is true. The reality is that any soft fork requires majority hashpower to be backward compatible (technically UASFs are a priori incompatible, and if they are compatible it can never be known before the fact).

Secondly, I didn't accuse anyone of vote brigading. Re-read what I said. And thanks for deleting all the context while constructing strawman arguments. But interestingly enough, the OP is calling for people to "join the war" with "#NO2X" and telling people to mass email the NYA companies. Thoughts? That's why I broke my silence, as it were.

Thirdly, I wasn't even trying to express that I was part of the silent majority per se, more so that the NO2X crowd doesn't speak for the broader Bitcoin community (if such a thing even exists anymore). The fact that the silent majority is silent -- that was more of a self-evident statement. Why should hundreds, or at most, thousands of Twitter accounts matter when we're talking about millions of Bitcoin users? I tried to ask Luke legitimate questions on Twitter about the lack of clear consensus for a UASF and he instantly blocked me. Naturally, I don't vote in his polls. This is indicative of why acting like small Twitter bubbles are representative of the Bitcoin economy is a problem. It's pretty well known by now that social media users rarely travel outside of their limited filter bubbles.
