I'd like to think if they did say he wasn't the official voice, that in stating that he wasn't that they would simultaneously thank him/her for stepping up and speaking for so many other members of the movement that felt the same way about these actions by these individuals that most people aren't very happy with.
That they don't do this has us question that much more the movement at large. If they have no larger voice of authority to speak against this sort of trolling appropriately, then either they can't be a decently well organized voice to do the right things, or they are being taken over by those voices that are only going to harm such a movement and perhaps there needs to be another movement organized to do what they are failing to do now.
