Rayiner has asserted with authority that you can’t possibly end up in that situation if you and your wife have even basic reading comprehension skills once, let alone 7 times.

Can you provide examples of these ridiculous reasons so we can either conclude that the two of you are indeed invalids, or so he can re-evaluate his assumptions and perhaps stop denigrating folks like yourself?

Please don't be so confrontational. This forum depends on constructive engagement to be useful.

Are you kidding? That’s what passes for confrontational now? You kids, I tell ya ;)

It was very slightly snarky perhaps, but appropriate to make a point. Maybe it’s better to hold off on the assumptions that everyone else must just be idiots. I’m fine with someone deciding that they are indeed idiots, but at least ask some questions and get their side first before declaring them so to the whole internet. Shit is rarely as simple as it might seem to an outsider. I doubt anyone who can manage to register for HN could fuck up the forgiveness application 7 times if the process was truly as simple as claimed.

He could have put it in a nicer way, but I do think it did a good job explaining how a particular chunk of anecdotal information could be very helpful to the conversation.

Many of the above comments about how these people deserve to be rejected also come off as pretty unkind.
