They were always out there and they were fomented by Chip's own posts. No one wants to be part of someone spiraling down the mental Heath toilet, and no one wants to enable a scammer or dirt bag. Everyone has the right to act, post and do whatever according to their own conscience. That's all Roy is doing. It's an awful situation. If you look at Chip's entire body of work, it is VERY problematic.
From someone that has spent days worth of time fighting Roy, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with him continuing to point out that there may be extenuating circumstances. That's his conscience in action. He is no more right or wrong than those who believe that years of evidence of bad deals, bad decisions and problems tell the story.
