My experience tells me those who are defending this business out of principle have never been truly, truly scammed.

  Other, similar phrases: - "Anyone who is defending this child molester was never molested as a child." - "Anyone who is defending this racist has never been the victim of prejudice." Some events overtrain our minds, such that we can never emotionally react to them in a genuinely rational way again. However, we can stop ourselves from doing this, by holding fast to the one principle that has always, always worked: Innocent until proven guilty, please.

  You'd have to accept the inverse, then - "no one attacking this business without concrete evidence has ever been falsely accused by an asshole customer."

  My experience would tell me either you don't own a small business or you haven't had a bad customer. We could argue how rare bad customers are and it varies drastically across business types, but it just takes one. I have no clue on this particular case and that is the exact point - neither does anyone else on here unless you have actually used them.

  So, because you got scammed by party A, then any unproven accusation against party B must be true and all those who still respect "innocent until proven guilty" are just ignorant? I think you really need to reexamine your perspective as it will seriously make working with other people on projects quite difficult.
