I'm a proud member of the Deviations, not close to one of the better players but a member nonetheless.
Whenever someone is accused of something, much like a trial, no one believes it when they say they aren't guilty. it serves no real point for Sam or anyone to respond to people who make baseless claims, if you have a real complaint go to WGT with it.
The club of which I am a member is a pretty tight group. We play poker together, real golf, have a chat room, etc. Most of us take it personality when someone challenges a member, because we know them pretty well. In the case of Sam he is one of the 2 or 3 nicest people on WGT, he gives video tips and is quick to help when he has time.
It seems that his sin against Heath was that he didn't spend enough time talking to him and didn't ask him to become a part of our club. I'm not sure that is a requirement on WGT to give people access to you.
Anyway as the #1 club on WGT we expect to take a lot of crap from the other clubs and members, we accept that but don't tell us not to defend our own because out nature is to not allow that.
