What is this all evidence of?

It would help to know what is being claimed about the numerous remarks quoted in the evidence. Various possibilities occur to me:

Unacceptable whether true or false
Unacceptable because false
Unacceptable because unsourced but acceptable with adequate justification
Unacceptable in the context but acceptable in other contexts
Unacceptable from a non-admin user
Unacceptable as part of a pattern but acceptable individually

Presenting evidence is all very well, but it helps to say what it is supposed to be evidence of. Groomtech (talk) 07:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my evidence for one is evidence that is unacceptable from any user, as I think most of the sets of evidence are. The main problem is that they're uncivil. The problem of sourcing only really comes in when looking at accusations - and yes, CoM does make a lot of unsourced accusations. His accusations are also said in an uncivil manner which doesn't help his case. If someone has a good faith concern, they are well within their rights to bring it up in a mature way with the person who they have a concern with. CoM creates concerns out of absolute nothing then attempts to take whoever he's referring to to town for it - often there's no weight behind the accusation and it's done in a way to maximise drama. Not that's exactly what we have issue with. Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 09:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
