I think it's one thing to be a fence-sitter knowing full well that you're handing a decision over to everyone else. Maybe you legitimately don't care, maybe you don't feel you're sufficiently informed, maybe you wish to make a statement by not engaging in the process at all, whatever. I don't find that to be a good thing, but it's a choice someone could reasonably make.
It's another thing to be out there advocating for others to take part in fence-sitting when not taking action is functionally identical to support for a particular side or cause. In that case it's not really fence-sitting, it's just disguised support. And that's true regardless of whether the fence-sitter intends it as such or not.
