I DID say, in as nice as way as possible, that they were perhaps naieve in the extreme, and foolhardy. That's not the same thing.
I don't want to speak for AR, as he's capable of that himself, but what I got from his posts was that, if they WERE doing as you say, then they shouldn't have cried about it later.
Given that they DID, it seems to me that their simple goodheartedness overcame common sense. You have to admit, that's not uncommon with such people.
