Apparently not so openly, in this case...
I don't think many people seriously consider, for example, Smoothrich a "good guy", and the total number of people who have conclusively cheated is extremely small. (maybe it's easier to root for the rulebreakers when they're faceless and unnamed?)
I consider Smoothrich to be a good guy, and I think plenty of people do as well. He's never extremely malicious or nasty to people, he just says and does funny shit like 75% of the time.
