You are straw manning.
It is explicitly stated that that MEW has the authority to proclaim only the opinion of the organization. I know this because I insisted that the scope of this authority be made explicit when the group was formed. If some greater authority were claimed, I would not have joined.
The (real) MEW is an organization and if you don't join you aren't a participant in that organization. That doesn't disqualify you from stating an opinion of course.
I'm "straw manning?" Oh rly?
The MEW is the organ of voting exactly for the reason that here people like you who have no stake at all in the game (except perhaps on the other side of the table) can speak however much you want and be taken (about) as seriously as any anonymous person with a bit longer forum history.
It is called "put up or shut up principle"

How could you possibly miss the palpable self-aggrandizement in the above quote?
I trust you sent a PM to RP in which you scolded him for indulging in ad hom attacks by accusing me of 1) not having a stake and 2) shorting XMR, despite all indications to the contrary...
/yah right; as if
