Well, the evidence's strength is also, as you say, dependent on the knowledge of the person who's viewing it.

Aston will likely elaborate his block reasoning if asked - I was not there either, but based on Matt's response and Aston's geniality you can deduce what happened to cause the block. The response is rude to the point of being banworthy - I've certainly been ramping up blocks for insults in response to the increasing toxicity of comments on the wiki. If this is worth a warning, I already gave him one - which he essentially spat in my face as a response.

Finally, the third example was provided because it's one of the few public messages showing the issues he's caused in chat - namely private message harassment. When I say this, I'm referring to the endless whinging that I and other users have been subject to in private messages. This is also relevant cross-wiki, but unfortunately the people who I would like to refer to have chosen to withdraw their contribution.

A month long ban has been long-time coming: Matt is a consistently frustrating user in chat, switching between sarcastic flamebaiting and self-pitying whining.

The person who created the screenshot deleted it. Here's another version http://imgur.com/qenfoHk. This ban in particular was made immediately prior to a warning, in which I asked someone to contact Matt privately and told him not to cause more trouble. The imgur link above /is/ his response, referring to this wiki. Thus the ban has a relevancy considering his low view of the wiki and its users as well as his consistently poor behavior.

If you honestly feel I'm wrong, unblock him or shorten his block. However, I'm going to be much more willing to block him in future if he continues his behavior, considering the leniency you'd show him.
