It is not wrong to give an opinion. But fact is that people, casual fans, spectators, tend to take Jackie's word for it because of his past achievements. And as a result, it is perhaps suitable that Jackie has been more tactful and responsible with his opinions. Not just sings the tunes of the less informed, claiming conspiracy and just pin the blame on FIA for actions that doesn't fit his own.
It's always good to read the quotes of a ex-champion and great driver, but it'd be sorry if these statements which people trust as truths are built on poor foundations of knowledge. essentially that's the point i'm trying to drive across.
And this criticism is only with regards to how Stewart's has spoken out, and is not to detract from the respect that he deserve as a great driver, and quite a team owner too.
And it doesn't mean Max is right in doing what he did. It's wrong, it's sad, it's disgraceful... basically i'm just disagreeing with the general views here where it seems like a "one is perfectly right, the other is outright wrong" view. If Max is doing the wrong thing (which is highly probable), Jackie doesn't have to worsen it when he can use his position to make things better.
