It's possible that each of the individuals, rather than act with bad intentions, simply exist in bubbles in which they heard these allegations, and repeated them here without checking them first.

Hopefully, if this is the case, these individuals realise the bubble they exist in, and give such topics more scrutiny in future.

That said @textgel, I find bringing up individual user's details a bit unsavoury; By all means, distinguish between long-term vs short-term users, but I don't think you should bring up employer, even if it's public info.

That's fair; apologies. I'm too late to edit it now but if some passing mods see it and is able to alter please do so.
