Chipp, maybe this will help?
First, I agree with you that the ideal situation would be that you be allowed to present a relentless challenge to SketchUp and that the most useful response would be for members to meet your challenge with thoughtful counter-challenges. But, this is not a philosophy forum but a company owned website, so it doesn’t surprise or offend me if the staff of that company might restrict your ability to undermine their reputation, on their own website.
I think you might get a better reception if you dialed back the evangelist nature of your posts a bit and focused more on developing the fair minded even handedness which does already appear in many of your comments. Justin comes to mind as a good role model here. I come to mind as a good example of what maybe not to do. 
I sense we are kindred spirits of a kind because I’ve spent 25 years doing things like going on a forum about XYZ (philosophy and religion mostly) and then relentlessly challenging XYZ. It’s often been me against the entire forum until they finally decide to get rid of me, happened too many times to count. I thrive on these challenging rhetorical (and social) experiences, and suspect you do as well.
I’ve learned I should make a clear minded decision as to what’s more important to me, intellectual inquiry or social popularity. I usually choose the former, but the thing is, without some social popularity it quickly becomes impossible to persuade anybody of anything because the conversation soon becomes over run by male ego head butting, and that gets pretty boring for everyone involved.
As for Blender, it seems the most constructive way to proceed around the head butting would be to focus on how Blender can improve, instead of why Blender is better than something else. Such a conversation doesn’t have to focus on the newbie experience, admittedly my personal obsession, as there are plenty of advanced features topics which I’m sure you could contribute to.
