So you don't have a clue whether your coveted accusations are true or not. You
don't really know if this specific case is part of your supposed pattern.

Basically Bruce can't claim that he "seems real enough" but you can claim he's
maybe part of a pattern of users who file fake complaints to get free upgrades
for a cracked program.

Now is Schwartz a part of that pattern?

I think Bruce is right. If you suggest something, be clear about what you
suggest. If you think Schwartz might be a freeloader, tell that. Don't say "I
see so many fake complaints".
