I am as well, as I believe that mistakes are just part of life and (religion-aside, and yes I am religious) there is really nobody who has never made mistakes, and it is quite literally impossible to go through life without making mistakes.

What you learn from them is generally beneficial in the end, and I do not at all think it a good idea to blame people for the same things that we all, during the course of our lifetime, do.

Personality-wise and joking aside, you are very mature and respectable, so I don't think an ill history would be a very good reason not to reward you and allow you to have an opportunity. If anything, as that would mean our inner circle (xD) is crossing users off the promotion list due to a bad history :P
