It's just a nonsensical and arrogant position. To assert that people who bought the sim have no valid opinion is arrogance of the worst sort. To assert that they have no valid opinion because they don't play in your particular sand pit is not just arrogant, it's ignorant.
I actually wish the sim had never been cracked. But that has nothing to do with the fact that I fly 50-75% of the time off line. As far as I can see, LeB is trying to discredit and discard the opinions of a section of the IL-2 using public. She at first tried to discount them on the grounds that they're not really a majority, and when that didn't fly she's tried to argue they have no 'stake' anyway.
It smacks of debating-team rationalisation. The guts of it is that LeB thinks off liners will generally hold opinions different to hers, so she attempts to discredit or minimize that opinion. It's rude, if nothing else.
cheers,
