That's hardly fair. It's one thing to make an anonymous accusation like: "He touched me inappropriately", but troisx follows more of a "I think <these facts> are pretty awful", and does not rely on him or his experience to any extent.
I really don't think Dan acted out of a conflict-of-interest, and in general I agree with the substance of his reply -- but a public chastising was out of place here.
