If you're biased, you should do the ethical thing and stay out of it, honestly. There is a ton of asymmetry here, and you and your Facebook CSO friend are being bullies. This is pretty grey, you don't have first hand knowledge, and obviously Alex can do no wrong in your eyes.


Everyone is biased. Presenting your arguments and declaring your biases so others can take them into account is the ethical thing to do.
