Actually both... and some nonaffiliated independent researchers as well.
Exes are as biased as currents on any emotionally heavy subject (religion and politics). Just look at ex-Christians who are now athiests or ex-liberals now conservatives... Hell, look at ex-spouses.
People tend to have reactions against the things they stop which are emotionally heavy... Hell, I'm no different. In our need to emphasize our current decisions, humans have a tendency of looking at other options in a very swayed manner.
