While I am not a supporter of specific aspects of Hivewatchers and vote accordingly, I'm not really sure what "illegal witness" means because anyone, anywhere, for any reason can become a Hive witness and it is never illegal (I suppose a compromised block production account would be, but the community then can unvote. Ask me how I know!). Many people very freely discuss their dissatisfaction on Hive, on Hive, which is one of the reasons I love this chain very much and put in the work I do for it. I passionately defend that while Hive is very human and should be encouraged to be the best version of human we can make it, Hive is also for enemies, and that's incredibly powerful.
However, I don't have much more to add to you in this case I'll have to respectfully disagree with you about GP, not to mention find that any attempts at on chain doxxing incredibly problematic and distasteful. I work with him almost every day on most of the completely thankless admin jobs that people shunt off on us, and he has been a staunch friend, an excellent high level project manager and administrator, and I've witnessed first hand how he supports entire communities of people and projects out of pocket. I am not here to convince you otherwise, but I also won't be drawn into that particular single discussion as it serves no useful purpose for me.
I will say I have no doubt that with a few passes through my own wallet and voting history, someone else could probably create some similar web of deceit and misery based on their own perception of blockchain connections, and develop much the same attitude about me, so I just keep myself on my own path and work with the people I know are advancing our space in the ways that don't compromise my own morals and ideals.
