My gut tells me to flip one of the Vanilla claims, because I just have a bad feeling about them.
It feels a bit too out of place
If they are indeed speaking the truth, then at worst we are losing a votepower, which is sub-optimal. But in the case that there are something more sinister behind those claims, then we may have spared ourselves a lot of grief in the future.
Though, it is again only my gut speaking...
