Haleivi, bemechilas kevod torascha, when someone is accused of massim asher lo yaasu and you say “yes he did it but it’s ok”, then you are saying “he’s guilty according to your definition, and everyone else, just not according to mine”. In other words, you are saying he’s guilty.
I’m not sure how someone saying “you can trust my kashrus, I’m a kletzky” is ideological. It’s a personal eidus of trust. This is pashut lechol bar bei rav dechad yoma. I am dan lekaf zechus that he said this as emes. I agree with charlie that the mods had to take precautions (gedaliah ben achikam was not supposed to be mekabeil but was supposed to take precautions, but I look forward to AYC clearing his name. He is kosher until established as treif for giving false eidus on himself.
