Armchair development is one of those degrees every forum warrior as a masters on. Such is the inter-web ways.
Is that anything like armchair propaganda ministry?
Liking a game and talking about it it's completely normal, it's called being a passionate gamer and that's how most people invest themselves in their hobbies, with passion and focusing on what they like. Trolls, cynics and negative people are just using games to vent the far more deeper psychological problems they have while providing laughing material for the "normal" people.

Who gets to decide who's who?
I'd say everyone. And people pretty much know what role they want to play before they start typing.

When I'm being lied to, when people don't do things they say they're going to do, when the story keeps changing over periods of months, when I look at that and can cite examples how things are askew, it means something's wrong with me.
To paraphrase, you've just said, "People who recognize something's wrong with CIG have something wrong with them".
How about, "If this company were on the up and up, there wouldn't be so much confusion, so many changed stories, and so many people wouldn't be upset to the point of needing to speak out about it."
I'd ask what you think of that statement, but I really don't care. You're being caustic, you're actively participating in part of the problem, you don't have the capacity to dispute facts but only deflect with insults, and you're ignored.
I have access to the game through my pledge, so I didn't try it.
I've decided to wait longer between trying out new versions - because the game is too far off from being finished to get excited about it now.
My plan was to try 2.0 to see if what they were promising was really possible - and I'd say 2.1+ proved that they're on the right track - and I'm now confident they'll deliver on the vision.
As such, I'd rather experience the full game - instead of getting it piecemeal - as that will reduce my final enjoyment of it.
However, it's hard not to check it out "just a little" here and there
I feel this way about all Early Access games I feel have potential. As hard as it is I do my best to wait until they are 100% completed, or I feel the game is basically done and they are just milking the EA status.

There's a huge difference between those who think a game is vapor ware and those looking for attention. Most players who dislike a game, for whatever reason, ignores that game and moves on to games they are interested in. It takes a "special" kind of person to spend day after day on a forum, bashing players who like a game that they do not and I can't tell if it's simple selfishness or deeper psychological problems. But I know one thing for sure, you guys are NOT here to help us in any way.

I don't just "bash people who like a game", regardless of your baseless accusation, and I can prove it. I cannot do that here and expect to not get infractions. Everybody and their over-protective mothers report everything I say here, throwing stuff at the wall until it sticks. If, indeed, all I was doing was "attacking people for liking something", I would not be here typing right now.
I type with forethought, citations and sense, and often, quite regularly, what I type isn't "hateful" or even "negative", but purely observation with relevant reference, until it's construed by someone with an opposing viewpoint. Then the bets are off, I'm a horrible person and I'm called everything under the sun.

Don't worry, you folks should get many, many free-fly weekends over the next couple of years.
Like David Jennings said, 'You could do what was good for the game, or you could do what Chris Roberts wanted....'
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
