There is no problem with expressing personal opinions on a forum, at all - that's what a forum is there for!
However, you do not explain the basis for your assumption ('we will all have our interview, we just need a lot of patience') as nothing that has been discussed here or written by DV Lottery info would support your personal opinion. Hence, stating this as if it was true, is creating false expectations which is not fair to the person asking the question. They might think they will have an interview for sure and make all plans in the world towards their new life, only to realize that it might not happen (and was never likely to happen). That's why just making a statement like yours *is* a problem.
There have been many discussions on this subject. The process is a big deal for most of us, and for some, it is something they have dreamed of for years. So - there is lots of emotion at stake here. Some like to understand the process from a logical point of view, others prefer to hold on to the hope - regardless of what the statistical analysis says.
NONE of us really KNOW what is going to happen, so if some people want to hold on to hope - well - why not let them. I think there is more than enough hope and logic available in the forum and people can hopefully make up their own minds in whatever way they prefer - and people are free to ignore the posts that seem at odds with what they want to believe.
