None of these things have happened to Cyde.

A lot of this is in AGF - if it's someone "we know" who believes
there's an issue, even if they turn out to be wrong, they won't
generally be taken to be trying to "just stir shit up".

We don't AGF about a lot of people who have dissapointed the
community, to the point that it's hard for them to make legitimate
reasonable criticisms in many venues now.  That is clearly a legit
problem.
