Wait -- I don't. I simply see obvious parallels between this situtation
and the ones surrounding those two people. I've, to my best knowledge,
never been in direct communication with them and I'm not even sure I have
an initial liking for them. Thus, on a purely personal level, no
comparison is intended.

Yes, I am. Apart from the numerous RL issues bugging me (the Grand
Excuse(TM)) I simply do not intend to contribute material if initial,
/technical/ discussions end up in flame wars already -- especially not if
my focus is working out the high-level issues and not the low-level ones.
That's one difference between them and me.

I noticed; they have the same respect for their work from me. Again, I do 
expect nor ask respect for only posting a few proposals.

The only comparison I expect is the one you make yourself -- the poor
communication.

I've found that even a little drama in RL makes a nice change from escapism.
