This is exactly what got WisCon (and, before it, ReaderCon, and the list is long) in trouble. Prioritizing "I know X, and respect X" over "Person Y says that X misbehaved" is what lets people continue misbehaving year after year after year. People who have built up social credit can still harass other people, can still mysteriously lose evidence, can still behave extremely badly. Sadly, many Xs behave kindly and appropriately to their friends, and badly in other contexts.
We all owe it to our communities -- and to ourselves -- to have our first reaction to claims of harassment to be "I should evaluate the evidence" and not "But I know the harasser!"
