Running dominance is an impossibly difficult task, built only for those with the strength to lead people and keep these hundred different threads woven into an approachable picture. There's nothing easy about making decisions for so many players, even in a game.
On the other hand, it's easy to make a judgement about a dominance leader. "If I was them, I would do this..." Everyone does it, and me most of all. It's also part of the job as a citizen of any flight to let your voice be heard (if you care about the direction of your flight dominance), and it's also unfair to assume that a dominance leader has veto powers on all things dominance just because they're more active or have a leadership role. Dominance shouldn't be (and can't be) a dictatorship.
If anything, people should talk to dominance leaders with the respect they deserve for working so hard to help their flight. But that doesn't mean they can't air their complaints or discuss their strategies. The president of the USA doesn't make military decisions without the advise of countless thousands of people beneath him - why should a dom leader have any less support?
