How's this for "Evidence"?

Isn't this irrelevant to the stated reason? Wasn't the stated reason records of lols, whereas your reason is records against community advancement? And aren't you presenting a hypothetical, not actual evidence?

Both mentor and HoS applications are subject to input from the community. If someone cannot spell or has made themselves look like a dumbass regularly enough to be declined, simply editing or deleting your posts isn't also going to edit or delete the impressions you made on people. Glancing at the current mentor/HoS apps, I don't see a single one where a post has been quoted showing the applicant's insight and wisdom. Even if one exists that I missed, the utterly vast majority of support posts do not have nor require such backup. Why would you need to quote a post showing an applicant's idiocy? Isn't that a double standard? In your own hypothetical, that you were able to make up out of the bounds of what has actually happened?

Is it possible you are reaching? If so, why do you feel the need to?
