Bad things can happen with synthetics?

Bad things can happen with any oil that has a high soot content when burned off, synthetic or mineral.

Let's not dare get in this discussion again. It's probably one of the oldest!
If you don't feel comfortable with synthetics then don't use them but I certainly won't hesitate and I think the majority would agree with me.
