However, in the history of the IETF there have been several cases where people go out of their way to send unwarranted complaints to various ADs/IESG/IAB with unwarranted claims. If you were to do this more than a few times... Well, lets just say crying wolf once isn't a foul - but after a couple more times the town won't come out to see if there is a wolf in the pasture.
