There is a circle of hype regarding these sorts of things, by which one party's messages as they are perceived by the other is distorted to be actual beliefs. Example: Anyone can make a guess at what the opposition wants to do, but then when people hear that and think that it's definitively a claim they've made, it's dangerous. I have constantly seen users revile the media response, claiming they called Creepypasta Wiki a "cult", that Creepypasta Wiiki must be shut down, etc. but nobody can actually find such a media source!
 * 1) Billy guesses the others' beliefs: "UGH, they must want to shut down Creepypasta Wiki now!"
 * 2) Rob hears Billy, says to his own friends: "Hey guys, did you hear they want to shut down Creepypasta Wiki?"

If there have been such claims it's honestly most likely to have been by Wikians, who were probably likely to have some conflict of interest or reason to dislike the wiki anyway.
