Since none of us know one iota of the circumstances surrounding Scott Lake's professional financial situation, I'd suggest withholding any judgement about the 'classiness' of the parties involved.

If you don't care for Lake because of his record of rules violations, that's fine, but it provides no insight into whatever forced him into the situation he's dealing with. I've met Lake exactly once and don't know enough about him to have an opinion.

And as an aside, when it comes to 'classlessness' there isn't much worse than kicking a guy when he's down. I'll venture to guess that within the next 12-24 months, there won't be a single one of us that aren't familiar with at least one friend, family member or business associate that will be in the same position as Lake is today.

I think the only point anyone was disputing was his comments about the article. Most weren't commenting on the legitimacy ( or non) of his BK. But when you file you have to know it's going to be out there.
