Well of course there is. You can challenge it. Are you seriously saying that you would believe anything anyone told you about any member without verifying that it was the case? If someone told you I was gay, or Janszoon was a right-wing anarchist or Batty was, well, Batty, would you just believe them, especially if you knew or suspected it was not the truth? Is this George Orwell land? Do you believe what you're told to believe, or do you challenge it?
Honestly, this "sigh-what-can-you-do-accept-it" attitude is quite worrying. I would always defend my reputation if someone called me or labelled me as something I was not, and did not want to be seen as. That's just common sense and personal pride. Otherwise anyone can call anyone anything.
