It is very well possible that many of the more exaggerated rumors at the time of Confurence's decline were perpetuated by Burned Furs for their own political agendas. Unfortunately, when discussing the prospects of rumors and their impacts on behaviors, it would be a bit naive to believe that they have no impact on things around them. For furries on the east coast, we had mostly these statements through the internet to assess what the causes were at the time.
I wish we did live in a world where false or exaggerated statements have no impact or bearing on those about them. However, I think any furry can tell you that they do.
