My phrase of 'Sour Grapes' relate to those 'tit for tat' squabbles that derive from rival sites.

I think it is a fair bet that the vast majority of reports are from this type of source.

It is worth remembering that there are many areas of SEO that are grey areas. They could be 'spam' or they could be bordering on stretching the limits.

The public in general probably do not report seo type of spam and don't know it exists.

If we looked into any given spam report, we would almost certainly find that it generated from someone who feels they should be in the place of those they are reporting. Hence 'sour grapes'.
