The burden of proof from this angle unfairly rested on an "accuser", not "the accused". This mirrors many justice systems, but a PR being rejected is not equivalent to imprisonment or a fine or death. It's a mild social consequence, equivalent to saying "no thanks" to someone handing out flyers for a show at the Edinburgh fringe or leaflets of strange local religious sect.

Wow. The sheer gall.
