Our current pastor is hurt and believes that our former pastor is lost and is maybe even angry about how he has been treated... but hate, no- I mis-spoke, I am just almost sure he is incapable of real hate. He is a Christian and a gentle soul with a servants heart.

Ok. I can understand anger and hurt. It's not the same as hate.
But that does not excuse the other pastor saying untruths about your pastor. (I know you are not saying it does excuse him)
I guess this figures in the same as when a pastor tells another pastor something about a saint that left one church for another. Sometimes it may just be a pastor's point of view, but the way I see it, if the pastor's point of view gets around in the new church and the saint doesn't have a chance to defend himself and tell the "rest of the story", that is almost character assassination. Many in the new church knows one side of the story and the new saint gets a cold shoulder?
