It's not my job to research someone's claim to be a volunteer, it's their job to provide the evidence.

Pretty much the same argument can be assigned to atheism and theism. The one making the extraordinary claim is the one who must provide evidence, not the other way around.

You don't ask an atheist to provide proof that a god doesn't exist, it's the theist's job to provide proof that a god does exist. So why shouldn't this same logic apply to someone's claim as a volunteer.

Plus, even if we knew he was a volunteer, I'd need some proof that the account was really his and not someone pretending to be him. We've had people claim to be volunteers that are listed but turn out to be fakes or trolls. Though I do believe him on that.
